Chemical and Isotopic Groundwater Hydrology
Description
Groundwater is a vital resource in steadily increasing demand by man, but man threatens its quality and mishandles the available quantity. In order to properly manage the resource, we have to study it in detail, recognize its properties, and understand its dynamics—in large-scale regions as well as in every locally studied system.Chemical and isotopic hydrology are tailored to these challenges, and the hydrochemist has a key role as a consultant to the groundwater developers and managers, decision-makers, and environmental quality authorities.
This book provides the applied approach, incorporating maximum field observations, and parameters measured in field studies, enabling the reader to: (a) understand the natural regimes of groundwater systems in specific case study areas, (b) understand the consequences of anthropogenic intervention, (c) reach conclusions and recommendations related to management of the water resource, and (d) establish boundary conditions that lead to conceptual models.
