Zusammenfassung:"Groundwater in the Environment draws on case studies and cutting-edge research from around the world, giving a unique insight into groundwater occurring in a wide range of different climate zones and geological settings. This book provides a robust, practical introduction to groundwater quality, and a succinct summary of modern remedial technologies for polluted groundwaters. It explores how groundwater fits into the wider natural environment, especially in relation to freshwater ecosystems, and considers the vulnerability of groundwater systems and the effects of pollution, climate change, land-use change, and overexploitation. The book examines human dependence on water and the effect that this has on groundwater systems, and presents vivid examples of geohazards associated with ground waters. It explains the whys and wherefores of groundwater modeling, and examines competing philosophies of groundwater management, making the case for approaches which take social, economic and ecological issues into account." -- from Publusher's description.
