Excellent- More about Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice
Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of hydrogeology, reflecting advances in the field since 2014 and including over 350 new references. It covers a systematic approach to understanding groundwater, from distribution to field investigation techniques, groundwater quality, and contaminant hydrogeology. The book also discusses the application of environmental isotopes and noble gases in aquifer evolution and regional characteristics, and examines future challenges for groundwater governance and management. It is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in earth sciences, environmental sciences, and physical geography, as well as practitioners in hydrogeology, soil science, civil engineering, and landscape planning.

Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice is a comprehensive guide to the study of hydrogeology, aimed at enhancing the reader's understanding of the crucial role of groundwater in addressing current and future environmental and sustainable water resource challenges. This new edition has been thoroughly revised to incorporate advancements in the field since 2014, with over 350 new references added. The book adopts a systematic approach to understanding groundwater, beginning with insights into the distribution of groundwater within the Earth's upper continental crust and its role in global material and elemental fluxes. Subsequent chapters delve into the fundamental physical and chemical principles of hydrogeology, while later chapters focus on field investigation techniques for groundwater within catchment processes. Additionally, chapters are dedicated to groundwater quality and contaminant hydrogeology, including a section on emerging contamination from microplastic pollution.
Unique features of the book include chapters on the application of environmental isotopes and noble gases in interpreting aquifer evolution and regional characteristics such as topography, compaction, and variable fluid density on geological processes affecting past, present, and future groundwater flow regimes. The final chapter addresses future challenges for groundwater governance and management, emphasizing the role of managed aquifer recharge and examining the linkages between groundwater and climate change, including its impacts on cold-region hydrogeology.
Given the global commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the interaction of groundwater in the exploitation of energy resources, including renewable energy sources, becomes increasingly important. Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides valuable insights into these complex issues, equipping professionals and researchers with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the challenges and opportunities associated with groundwater resources in a sustainable manner.
