Description
Unlock the secrets of our planet's most vital resource with *Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice*. This essential textbook serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the significance of groundwater in addressing current and future environmental challenges. With extensive updates since the previous edition, this book reflects the latest advancements in hydrogeology, providing over 350 new references to support your research and knowledge.
Delve into the systematic approach of groundwater studies, starting with an exploration of the distribution of groundwater in the Earth’s upper continental crust. You'll gain insights on how groundwater acts as an agent for global material and elemental fluxes. This edition offers detailed explanations of fundamental physical and chemical principles, along with essential groundwater field investigation techniques related to catchment processes.
An essential read for students and professionals alike, the book covers crucial topics such as groundwater quality, contaminant hydrogeology—including emerging threats like microplastic pollution—and the innovative applications of environmental isotopes and noble gases in aquifer studies. Special attention is given to how regional characteristics like topography and fluid density impact groundwater flow.
It’s imperative to understand groundwater governance and management for sustainable resource use, especially with climate change considerations. Gain valuable perspectives on managed aquifer recharge strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of vital groundwater resources.

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
