This book presents a collection of essays that address various
facets of the hydrogeology of Israel. Despite its small geographic
size, Israel exhibits a variety of climates and is located between
two regional fluctuating base levels. The respective chapters
discuss the variety of hydrogeological configurations and
hydrological processes produced by these geographical
circumstances. In some cases, the interpretation of these aspects
is deliberately left open to debate, because the authors were asked
to provide, in addition to their own views, also alternative and
even conflicting ones. Hydrogeological configurations similar to
those in Israel can be found in other countries around the world.
Therefore, researchers, scholars and professionals in this
interdisciplinary field can benefit from and directly apply the
considerable experience and expertise that has been gathered in
Israel over the past few decades.
The proposed book deals with the role of changing groundwater base
level on the adjacent hydrological systems. It summarizes, compiles
and compares results of current and paleo base levels, using
examples from all over the world. A classification is given for
marine or continental groundwater base levels with special
attention to those below sea level. The factors controlling base
level changes and the methods for their determination are
elaborated. Holocene and future changes are discussed with their
effect on salinization and flushing mechanisms of groundwater. All
topics described in the book are accompanied by examples and
references from all over the world.
