The incorporation of research into the solution of hydrogeological issues is critical to achieving the best possible solutions and this book discusses the following themes across a range of areas of hydrogeology:
Managing Groundwater Resources; Groundwater and Resources Industries (both mining and hydrocarbons); Surfacewater - Groundwater Interaction; Groundwater Quality and Hydrogeochemistry; Advances in Tools and Techniques; Hydrogeological Applications and Solutions; and Climate and Groundwater.
The volume presents a selection of the outstanding papers presented at the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) Congress (Groundwater Research) in Perth, Australia, 2013, focussing on presenting solutions for groundwater problems world-wide.
Groundwater is integral to many human and environmental systems but there are significant challenges in dealing with the impact of anthropogenic activities on groundwater systems. These challenges need innovative solutions.
This book contains a wide range of content, from a discussion of the Australian regulatory framework for unconventional hydrocarbons, the extraction of which have the potential to significantly impact groundwater systems, to the best way to apply numerical models to help solve complex, real world problems. The impact of urbanisation on groundwater systems in the developing world is also discussed, at both a local scale in Nigeria and at a world scale. The use of innovative tools such as managed aquifer recharge, a critical tool in solving the groundwater challenges of the 21st century, is also discussed. The framework used to manage the legacy of agricultural contamination in Denmark, covering investigation to regulation and remediation, is also presented, focussing on how the many challenges in implantation were solved.
This book is targeted at professional hydrogeologists, experts in governance, law and policy as well as other professionals that need to incorporate an understanding of groundwater. The book will also appeal to politicians, resource managers, regulators and others interested in sustainable water supply.
