GROUNDWATER HYDROLOGY OF SPRINGS - ENGINEERING, THEORY, MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

'Groundwater Hydrology of Water Resource Series Water' is an essential environmental resource and one that needs to be properly managed. As the world places more emphasis on sustainable water supplies, the demand for expertise in hydrology and water resources continues to increase. This series is intended for professional engineers, who seek a firm foundation in hydrology and an ability to apply this knowledge to solve problems in water resource management. Future books in the series are: Groundwater Hydrology of Springs (2009), Groundwater Hydrology of River Basins (2009), Groundwater Hydrology of Aquifers (2010), and Groundwater Hydrology of Wetlands (2010). First utilized as a primary source of drinking water in the ancient world, springs continue to supply many of the world's cities with water. In recent years their long-term sustainability is under pressure due to an increased demand from groundwater users.
