Water Resourcesby Brian Kay
Spon Press 1998; US$ 200.00This book addresses health aspects of the environmental impact of water resource development. It gives coverage of international policies on water resources and supports this with a wide range of case studies. more...
Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systemsby George F. Pinder
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 130.00Cutting-edge techniques for groundwater modeling using GIS technology Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these models and analyses more accurate than ever before. GIS technology allows for swift organization, quantification, and interpretation of large quantities of geohydrological data with computer accuracy and minimal risk of human error. This book's companion Web site provides the Princeton Transport Code, as well as the plug-in extensions required to interface this code with the Argus ONE numerical environment software enclosed with this book. Plug-in extensions for MODFLOW and MT3D computer codes... more...
Institutional Innovation in Water Managementby W.R.D. Sewell; A. Pitkethly; J.T. Coppock
Spon Press 1986; US$ 160.00Water supply is high on the international political agenda. This study, using the Scottish experience as an examplar, shows that institutional innovation is as important if not more so than improved technology in providing water for a growing world population. more...
Elements of Geographical Hydrologyby B.J. Knapp
Routledge 1979; US$ 51.95This is a concise introduction to principles and applications of hydrology in a geographical context. It uses a wealth of fully illustrated examples to relate theory to the real geographical problems associated with a subject central to our understanding of the natural environment and the use we make of it. Whilst hydrology and the study of water resources have been established for sometime as topics for advanced study, they have been introduced into A-level syllabuses only recently. more...
Hydrology of the UKby Mike Acreman; Frank Law
Routledge 1999; US$ 71.95Assesses the changing hydrology of the UK by focusing on key issues that affect fundamental hydrological processes and which have important implications for water resource management, flood risk and environmental quality. more...
Flood Pulsing in Wetlandsby Beth A. Middleton
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 150.00The latest cutting-edge research on flood pulsing and wetland restoration in North America Presenting the latest research from leaders in the field of restoration ecology, Flood Pulsing in Wetlands reflects the current movement to incorporate flood pulsing into wetland restoration efforts. Emphasizing how integral flood pulsing is to successful wetland restoration, the book's contributors provide descriptions of restoration projects across North America in which flood pulsing has been primarily used to restore beneficial hydrodynamic conditions to floodplain areas, and improve or save vegetation, wildlife, and terrain. Detailing the importance and applicability of recreating flood-pulsed conditions on floodplains for successful restoration,... more...
