Hydrogeochemistry of Aquatic Ecosystems Discover the geological
foundation of global water supply, focusing on resource
conservation and restoration Hydrogeochemistry explores the
connections between the geology of a region and the chemical
characteristics and quality of its water sources, including such
factors as erosion, evaporation, and, increasingly, man-made
activities. With the emergence of climate change as a major factor
reshaping water quality and availability, the need to understand
interactions between hydrochemistry and geology has never been
greater. Hydrogeochemistry of Aquatic Ecosystems meets this need by
offering foundational knowledge about the hydrochemistry of
different types of aquatic systems, the nature of their
interactions with various pollutants and geological processes, and
the possibilities and dangers of human intervention. With a
particular focus on aqueous resource conservation and restoration,
this is a vital, timely guide to a potentially life-saving subject.
Hydrogeochemistry of Aquatic Ecosystems readers will also find:
Detailed treatment of water-sediment interactions, arsenic and
fluoride enrichment, sand mining, and many other subjects Coverage
throughout of solute acquisition processes, the carbon cycle, and
nutrient geochemistry Case studies from Asia and Africa
demonstrating both natural and anthropogenic hydrogeochemical
interactions Hydrogeochemistry of Aquatic Ecosystems is
indispensable for professionals and researchers in environmental
science and environmental engineering, as well as scholars and
advanced graduate students working on aquatic ecosystems or effects
of climate change.
This book contains both practical and theoretical aspects of
groundwater resources relating to geochemistry. Focusing on recent
research in groundwater resources, this book helps readers to
understand the hydrogeochemistry of groundwater resources. Dealing
primarily with the sources of ions in groundwater, the book
describes geogenic and anthropogenic input of ions into water.
Different organic, inorganic and emerging contamination and
salinity problems are described, along with pollution-related
issues affecting groundwater. New trends in groundwater
contamination remediation measures are included, which will be
particularly useful to researchers working in the field of water
conservation. The book also contains diverse groundwater modelling
examples, enabling a better understanding of water-related issues
and their management. Groundwater Geochemistry: Pollution and
Remediation offers the reader: An understanding of the quantitative
and qualitative challenges of groundwater resources An introduction
to the environmental geochemistry of groundwater resources A survey
of groundwater pollution-related issues Recent trends in
groundwater conservation and remediation Mathematical and
statistical modeling related to groundwater resources Students,
lecturers and researchers working in the fields of
hydrogeochemistry, water pollution and groundwater will find
Groundwater Geochemistry an essential companion.
