Applied Groundwater Hydrology: A British Perspective (Oxford Science Publications)

An up-to-date survey of trends in hydrogeology is presented in this volume. Topics discussed include groundwater management, groundwater quality, waste disposal, rising groundwater levels, as well as the development of geothermal energy, the impact of acid rain, the use of the noble gases and radio-elements in groundwater research, and the role of microbes in aquifers. It will be of interest to all who are concerned with the development of groundwater resources and with maintaining their quality.
