Hydrological Drought : Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater
Hydrological Drought: Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater, Second Edition provides a comprehensive review of processes and estimation methods for streamflow and groundwater drought.It includes a qualitative conceptual understanding of drought features and processes, a detailed presentation of estimation methods and tools, practical examples and impacts relevant for operational practice. The drought phenomenon and its diversity across the world are illustrated using a global set of daily streamflow series, whereas regional and local aspects of drought are studied using a combination of hydrological time series and catchment information.Hydrological Drought: Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater, Second Edition concludes with human impacts, including climate change impacts on drought, drought forecasting and early warning and examples of procedures on how to manage water during drought.The majority of the examples are taken from regions where the rivers run most of the year, but not exclusively.The material presented ranges from well-established knowledge and analysing methods to recent developments in drought research.Its nature varies accordingly, from a more traditional textbook and clear overview to that of a research paper, which introduces recent approaches and methodologies for drought analysis.

Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions
Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in our understanding of groundwater-surface water interactions: surface water and aquifers were long considered discrete, separate entities; they are now understood as integral components of a surface-subsurface continuum. This book provides an overview of current research advances and innovative approaches in groundwater-surface water interactions. The 20 research articles and 1 communication cover a wide range of thematic scopes, scales, and experimental and modelling methods across different disciplines (hydrology, aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, and environmental pollution). The book identifies current knowledge gaps and reveals the challenges in establishing standardized measurement, observation, and assessment approaches. It includes current hot topcis with environmental and societal relevance such as eutrophication, retention of legacy, and emerging pollutants (e.g., pharmaceuticals and microplastics), urban water interfaces, and climate change impacts. The book demonstrates the relevance of processes at groundwater-surface water interfaces for (1) regional water balances and (2) quality and quantity of drinking water resources. As such, this book represents the long-awaited transfer of the above-mentioned paradigm shift in understanding of groundwater-surface water interactions from science to practice.

Groundwater Ecology and Evolution
Groundwater Ecology and Evolution, Second Edition is designed to meet a multitude of audience needs.The state of the art in the discipline is provided by the articulation of six sections.The first three sections successively carry the reader into the basic attributes of groundwater ecosystems (section 1), the drivers and patterns of biodiversity (section 2), and the roles of organisms in groundwater ecosystems (section 3).The next two sections are devoted to evolutionary processes driving the acquisition of subterranean biological traits (section 4) and the way these traits are differently expressed among groundwater organisms (section 5).Finally, section 6 shows how knowledge acquired among multiple research fields (sections 1 to 5) is used to manage groundwater biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of future groundwater resource use scenarios.Emphasis on the coherence and prospects of the whole book is given in the introduction and conclusion.

Groundwater Politics : Advanced Extractivism and Slow Resistance
The mining industry is an expanding socio-ecological and political problem worldwide, not least in Atacamen~o-Likanantay (Indigenous) territories in the hyper-arid Salar de Atacama, Chile.Groundwater Politics addresses the social, technical and political conditions it calls ‘advanced extractivism’ to reveal how groundwater extraction sustains both ecological damage and mining economies.It richly describes the area's copper and lithium industries as historically linked with Indigenous communities and their ecological and economic futures.Based on over a decade of ethnographic research, the book casts community strategies to control water and territory as 'slow resistance’, the structural and multifaceted practices that generate a material future amid potential resource exhaustion.

Analytical Groundwater Modeling : Theory and Applications using Python
This book provides a detailed description of how Python can be used to give insight into the flow of groundwater based on analytic solutions.Starting with simple problems to illustrate the basic principles, complexity is added step by step to show how one-dimensional and two-dimensional models of one or two aquifers can be implemented.Steady and transient flow problems are discussed in confined, semi-confined, and unconfined aquifers that may include wells, rivers, and areal recharge.Special consideration is given to coastal aquifers, including the effect of tides and the simulation of interface flow. Application of Python allows for compact and readable code, and quick visualization of the solutions.Python scripts are provided to reproduce all results.The scripts are also available online so that they can be altered to meet site-specific conditions.This book is intended both as training material for the next generation of university students and as a useful resource for practitioners.A primer is included for those who are new to Python or as a refresher for existing users.

Groundwater Lowering in Construction : A Practical Guide to Dewatering
Praise for the Second Edition:"This is the book that the dewatering sector really needs – it is reliably based on sound theory and profound understanding of the physical processes, yet is presented in a very accessible and user-friendly manner.It draws on many, many decades of experience, and yet is utterly up to date. . . . It is a one-stop shop for the dewatering practitioner – who can nonetheless rest assured that the theoretical basis of the methods presented is flawless."— Professor Paul L.Younger, FGS, FICE, C.Geol., C.Eng., FREng, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK"The best reference on this topic available . . . and will prove useful to a wide variety of readers ranging from junior construction engineers or dewatering contractors to theoretical hydrogeologists and environmental managers.It is rare that a book is able to bridge the gap between theoretical design guidance and practical application."— S.N.Sterling, University of Waterloo, CanadaThe extensively updated Groundwater Lowering in Construction: A Practical Guide to Dewatering, 3rd Edition offers practical advice on all phases of groundwater control systems, from planning and design, through installation and maintenance, and ultimately decommissioning.The expertise provided in this book can help you improve working conditions, increase project viability, save time and reduce excavation costs. Designers and managers of construction and engineering projects are given the tools necessary to effectively control groundwater.The content is divided into three sections – Principles, Design and Construction.The Principles section explains the fundamentals of groundwater flow as it relates to civil engineering excavations.The Design section explores in extensive detail site investigation, permeability assessment methods and groundwater control strategies.Chapters in the Construction section describe dewatering and exclusion techniques, and examine the complete life cycle of a groundwater control scheme, including monitoring, maintenance and decommissioning.This section incorporates eleven case histories from the authors’ casebook. The 3rd edition has been greatly revised and updated, and contains more than 200 new illustrations.The new content covers: Permeability of soils and rocks Groundwater problems for excavations in rock Groundwater control for tunnelling projects, such as shafts and cross passages Methods for assessing permeability Decommissioning of dewatering systems Optimisation of groundwater control schemes. The new, expanded content offers valuable direction that can give you a true competitive advantage in the planning and execution of temporary and permanent dewatering works for excavation and tunnelling.Written for practising engineers, geologists and construction managers, as well as postgraduate engineering students, this revamped manual on design and practice presents numerous case studies and extensive references to enhance understanding.
