This book was released on 2007 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the IAEA has played a key role in advancing isotope techniques and in promoting the use of isotopes to address water resource sustainability issues worldwide. The quadrennial IAEA symposia continue to be an important component of the IAEA's mission in water resources management. The 12th symposium in the series was convened with the objectives of: reviewing the state of the art in isotope hydrology; outlining recent developments in the application of isotope techniques to water resources management; and identifying future trends and developments for research and applications. The breadth of topics addressed was extensive and included analytical developments, the use of isotopes to understand land-atmosphere-biosphere interactions, rivers and surface water, development of deep groundwater resources, ecohydrology, urbanization and water resources management, carbon sequestration, waste management, artificial recharge, contamination problems, coastal zone hydrology, geothermal systems, agriculture and water resources management, and research frontiers. These proceedings are intended for those using isotopes for applied problems in hydrology as well as for the research community. It is also hoped that these proceedings will promote increased use of isotopes for water resource sustainability problems and greater utilization of these techniques by hydrologists in general.

Book Recent Advances in Isotope Hydrology

Download or read book Recent Advances in Isotope Hydrology written by Teddy Reynolds and published by Murphy & Moore Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary field of geochemistry and hydrology, which deals with isotope utilization to estimate the age and origin of surface and groundwater is known as isotope hydrology. It also studies the circulation and movement of water with the hydrologic cycle. Water molecules carry unique isotope fingerprints located in parts of different proportions of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes which constitute the water molecule. It also helps in determining the age of ice or snow using stable isotopes. The techniques used are beneficial for conserving water supplies, controlling pollution and mapping aquifers. This field also has applications in ecohydrology. It is used to understand the impact of humans on the varied dimensions of the hydrological cycle and other ecosystem services. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of isotope hydrology. The ever-growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in this field in recent times. For all those who are interested in isotope hydrology, this book can prove to be an essential guide.

Download or read book Isotope Hydrology written by Joel Gat and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the realm of the newly evolving discipline of environmental sciences, the stable-isotope methodology is being used to an ever-increasing extent, especially in the study of the water cycle and of paleo-climatology. This book introduces the rules of the game, by reviewing the natural variability of stable isotopes in the hydrosphere, describing the physico-chemical basis of isotope fractionation, and applying this knowledge to natural waters as they move through the hydrologic cycle from the ocean to the atmosphere, the biosphere and the lithosphere. There is a special focus on the processes at the surface?atmosphere and land?biosphere?atmosphere interfaces, since these are the sites of major changes in isotope composition. In response to the increasing awareness of our changing climate, a discussion on the global view of the changing water cycle, in the past and future, winds up the presentation.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global effects to overcome the growing challenge of freshwater availability have been at the forefront of the world development agenda for nearly three decades. For developing policies towards sustainable management of freshwater resources, an improved understanding of the Earth's water cycle bas been widely recognized as one of the key elements of scientific information. The IAEA has played a crucial role in promoting and expanding the field of isotope hydrology. Starting in 1963, the IAEA's quadrennial symposia on isotope hydrology have played a central role in developing this scientific disc.

Book Hydrogeology

Download or read book Hydrogeology written by Kevin M. Hiscock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HYDROGEOLOGY Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of hydrogeology to enable the reader to appreciate the significance of groundwater in meeting current and future environmental and sustainable water resource challenges. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect advances in the field since 2014 and includes over 350 new references. The book presents a systematic approach to understanding groundwater starting with new insights into the distribution of groundwater in the Earth’s upper continental crust and the role of groundwater as an agent of global material and elemental fluxes. Following chapters explain the fundamental physical and chemical principles of hydrogeology, and later chapters feature groundwater field investigation techniques in the context of catchment processes, as well as chapters on groundwater quality and contaminant hydrogeology, including a section on emerging contamination from microplastic pollution. Unique features of the book are chapters on the application of environmental isotopes and noble gases in the interpretation of aquifer evolution, and a discussion of regional characteristics such as topography, compaction and variable fluid density on geological processes affecting past, present and future groundwater flow regimes. The last chapter discusses future challenges for groundwater governance and management for the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources, including the role of managed aquifer recharge, and examines the linkages between groundwater and climate change, including impacts on cold-region hydrogeology. Given the drive to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the interaction of groundwater in the exploitation of energy resources, including renewable resources and shale gas, is reviewed. Throughout the text, boxes and a set of colour plates drawn from the authors’ teaching and research experience are used to explain special topics and to illustrate international case studies ranging from transboundary aquifers and submarine groundwater discharge to the hydrogeochemical factors that have influenced the history of malting and brewing in Europe. The appendices provide conversion tables and useful reference material, and include review questions and exercises, with answers, to help develop the reader’s knowledge and problem-solving skills in hydrogeology. This highly informative and accessible textbook is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students primarily in earth sciences, environmental sciences and physical geography with an interest in hydrogeology or groundwater topics. The book will also find use among practitioners in hydrogeology, soil science, civil engineering and landscape planning who are involved in environmental and resource protection issues requiring an understanding of groundwater.
