This volume discusses climate change impacts on groundwater quality
in arid and semi-arid regions, and provides human health risk
assessments due to pollution of surface and groundwater. The book
presents recent trends in monitoring groundwater management and
implementing pollution mitigation strategies, including practices
involving remote sensing and GIS techniques, entropy water quality
index, weighted arithmetic water quality index, fuzzy logic
applications, and improved irrigation methods. The book also
outlines hydrological processes in arid and semi-arid regions and
hydrochemical properties of surface and groundwater as a necessary
background for understanding how pollution impacts groundwater
quality and resources, and how geographical modeling of
hydrological processes can aid in human health risk assessments.
The book is intended for academics, administrators, policymakers,
social scientists, and professionals involved in the various
aspects of climate change impact on groundwater quality,
hydrological process, pollution mitigation strategies, sustainable
development, and environmental planning and management.
This book presents a case study on a semi-arid region, Maharashtra
State, India, and discusses problems concerning a broad range of
areas: sustainable watershed development; watershed management;
groundwater condition; land and resource development plans;
thematic maps on e.g. land use, soil types and soil erosion;
groundwater recharge site selection; remote sensing and GIS; and
soil and water conservation structures. The book's focus is on
creating a land and water resource development plan and
environmental management for groundwater recharge development using
remote sensing and GIS technology in the case study region, which
is situated in the Akola and Buldhana districts of Maharashtra. Its
goal is to promote awareness for sustainable watershed development
and planning in semi-arid regions by highlighting the problems of,
and plans for, groundwater and surface water pollution and
sustainable watershed development. These aspects are of great
importance to watershed and natural resources planning and
management, and need to be exploited and managed sustainably. Given
its scope, the book will be of interest to all scientists, research
scholars and graduate students of remote sensing, hydrology,
hydrogeology, water resource engineering, agricultural engineering
and related areas who want to acquire detailed information on
watershed planning and sustainable water resource planning in
semi-arid regions, or to find new methodologies and techniques for
studying the feedback mechanisms between forms and processes.
