Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years there have been new developments in the field of hydrogeology and an enlargement of the scope into environmental concerns. This dictionary incorporates the terms that have become important in the vocabulary of environmental hydrogeology to do justice to these new developments. It is in part a revised and enlarged edition of "Elsevier's Dictionary of Hydrogeology" which was published in 1969. Approximately two thirds of the material in this dictionary is new.The terms covered deal with the geology of groundwater within the framework of the hydrologic cycle, geohydrology, contaminant hydrology, computer application to groundwater and subsurface pollution problems, environmental implications of groundwater use, regulatory aspects of groundwater protection, wellhead protection programs, interaction of groundwater systems with biogeochemical cycles, geochemistry of natural waters and contaminant chemistry, and water resources management.The group of readers for which this work is intended are: earth scientists (earth-surface processes, hydrology, groundwater geology, groundwater flow, contaminant hydrology); environmental engineers (waste management and disposal, remedial activities in contaminated sites, environmental protection strategies, monitoring of pollution); environmental regulators, legislators, administrators, and consulting engineers in hydrogeology and hydrology.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. The freshwater environment constitutes the main subject of this dictionary. In addition to the quantitative and physical aspects of hydrology and water management, due attention has been paid to chemical and biological properties and qualitative aspects of surface and subsurface waters. The scope is relatively wide, also including relevant terms from science and engineering. As far as the depth of the coverage goes, some limitations had to be set, for example, on terms related to sedimentology and oceanography. The scope does not extend beyond the tidal limit, i.e. terms on seawater, sea waves and tides are included only as far as they affect the quantities or qualities of inland waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary includes some 9200 terms, each with a definition and often and additional descriptive text in English, the terms being translated in French, German and Spanish. It is more complete than similar previously published dictionaries or glossaries, and contains all fields of soil science as well as some adjacent fields of other earth sciences, agriculture and engineering. Present concepts and definitions are detailed along with earlier concepts, not only for historical reasons but also for developing new ideas. Concepts, terms and definitions usual in literature of various countries are discussed and compared, to offer an appropriate exchange of ideas. Soil classifications and methodologies for soil investigation coming from a score of European, American and other countries and international organisations are presented, and correlations between names of soil taxa in different classifications are suggested. Readers active in all branches of soil science will find accessible answers to many of their questions, either directly referring to procedures used in the organisations where they work, or related to way of thinking in other countries. Readers active in other branches, but needing information on soils, will also find answers to this dictionary of great assistance to their research. * Over 9200 terms with definitions in English and translations in French, German, Spanish* Includes all fields of soil science and many connected sciences* All present-day terminology with inclusion of earlier, classical concepts and terms * Terminology in current USDA Soil Taxonomy, FAO World Reference Base or Soil Resources, and other documents from different countriesGranted the "N.Cernescu" award from the Romanian Academy on Agricultural and Forestry Sciences

Environmental Hydrogeology, Second Edition: Emphasizes actual engineering problems that the authors encountered and solved Contains a glossary, conversion tables, and mathematical models of selected case studies Covers surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology, and the design of wells Discusses relationships between environmental impacts and hydrogeological systems Describes the types and sources of wastes and their properties, including adverse effects on the environment Examines environmental impacts on water resource systems and waste management for groundwater protection Explore the role of hydrogeology in local issues and global perils Headlines continue to blare news of climate change, tangential catastrophic events, and dwindling energy resources. Written by respected practitioners, and geared to practitioners and students, Environmental Hydrogeology, Second Edition explores the role that hydrogeology can play in solving challenging environmental problems. New in the Second Edition: Coverage of groundwater recharging Exploration of geology of sink hole prone areas A case study of how salt-water springs were drawn down to manageable levels in the Red River Comprehensive coverage from trusted experts The authors provide a complete introduction to the fast-growing and evolving field of environmental hydrogeology and its future. The second edition includes completely updated material and select new case studies. Matching the caliber of coverage found in the previous edition, the authors explore topics such as the geological aspects of disposal sites, surface water hydrogeology, groundwater hydrology and wells, environmental impacts and the hydrological system, and more. They also include types, sources, and properties of waste products, and propose waste management programs for groundwater protection. Looming threats such as climate change, water pollution, acid rain, and air pollution extend beyond national boundaries and span the gaps between continents. An in-depth understanding of hydrogeology will be necessary to resolve these problems. Focusing on science rather than the regulations of any particular jurisdiction, the authors explore a variety of solutions and practical applications to issues such as groundwater recharging and protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban subsurface resources and particularly urban groundwater are vulnerable to environmental impacts, and their rational management is of major importance. In this book a multidisciplinary team of specialists and scientists presents innovative process-oriented approaches to the sustainable use of these resources. The included case studies from northwestern Switzerland describe representative environments and are relevant for urban areas in general. They illustrate the protection of groundwater; river restoration; engineering and hydrogeological questions related to urban infrastructure and management concepts; as well as monitoring, modeling and remediation strategies for contaminated sites; problems caused by karst in urban environments; the use of shallow geothermal energy; and natural hazards such as flood events and earthquakes. It is demonstrated that modern quantitative earth sciences can contribute significantly in finding solutions concerning the sustainable use of subsurface resources in urban environments. The book is an invaluable source of information for hydrogeologists, geologists, urban planners, water supply engineers, and environmental agencies.
