Description of product
The hydrogeological aspect of groundwater science is universal and applied in nature to have sustainable water resource development with social, economic, ecological, cultural, and aesthetic background. Though 99% of the world's fresh available water is groundwater, the majority of financial resources are directed to surface water found in rivers and lakes. This serious imbalance requires urgent reassessment. This volume addresses the issue with the aim to facilitate the joint analysis of groundwater management studies and problems faced by scientist, engineers, managers, and other scholars from natural and applied sciences. Significant financial support is required for basic groundwater research if sustainable development is to be a realistic goal. As a fresh water resource, groundwater has major advantages over surface water. The authors have tried to focus their work on the most relevant topics and have paid much attention to questions related to management of aquifers, groundwater pollution, long-term problems and the key issues in developing countries, where the majority of the world's population lives. We (editors) have arranged the information in a systematic and scientific manner to make the concept of groundwater management and sustainability widely understandable. The book provides a platform to bring together earth scientists, professionals from chemical and engineering science disciplines, public health professionals, and social scientists involved with the management and development of groundwater resources. The book is expected to reflect the current understanding of all the issues related to the management of groundwater resources and their sustainable use.
