University of Arizona, Water Resources Research Center, Tucson, USA

Edited by

Lucia De Stefano and M. Ramon Llamas

Robert G. Varady University of Arizona, Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, Tucson, USA

This book explores whether Spain’s water problems are due to bad governance rather than physical water scarcity. It examines the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance—people’s needs wishes, (vested) interests, and aspirations— which often determine the result of decisions and, sometimes, lead water management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing a more complex, and realistic picture of water governance in Spain.

This book provides readers with a comprehensive view offered from multiple perspectives of the complex, interacting world of water management in two distinct regions facing similar water resource challenges. It employs comparative analyses to highlight commonalities and differences and thus examines the potential of strategies for approaching current and future policy choices. At the same time, it makes the case for scientific enquiry to build bridges to solutions in contentious settings.

Water Resources Management Impact of Climate Change on Water and Health Edited by

Velma I. Grover Any change in climate impacts the water cycle in terms of change in precipitation patterns, melting of snow and ice, increased evaporation, increased atmospheric water vapor, and changes in soil moisture and run off. Consequently, climate change could result in floods in some areas and droughts in others resulting in varying availability, and the quality of water affects the quality of life, food security, and also health security. This book examines the impact of climate change on water as well as health.

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is often neglected.

Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on the distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate largely on these water components. Calcium and magnesium are of great importance to human health. This book presents the results of the studies on calcium and magnesium in groundwater as well as their importance for human health.

Groundwater around the World A Geographic Synopsis Jean Margat BRGM, Orleans, France

Jac van der Gun

Series: IAH - Selected Papers on Hydrogeology

Groundwater Hydrologist, TNO, The Netherlands (Retired)

This book ranges from discussion and debate on the hot topic of hydraulic fracturing of wells or “fraccing” for shale gas and its potential to disrupt groundwater systems, to the application of highly technical modelling procedures to help solve complex, real-world problems. It is a window on the preoccupations of modern hydrogeologists and an insight into the way in which hydrogeological techniques and methods are being holistically adapted to address problems in the real world.

This book presents a unique and up-to-date summary of what is known about groundwater on our planet, from a global perspective and in terms of area-specific factual information. Unlike most textbooks on groundwater, it does not deal with theoretical principles, but rather with the overall picture that emerges as a result of countless observations, studies, and other activities related to groundwater in all parts of the world. It highlights the role and geographical diversity of groundwater.

A solid introduction and overview of water quality sampling and analysis, this book covers water quality issues, water quality regulatory development, monitoring and sampling techniques, best management practices, and laboratory methods related to the water quality of surface and ground waters. It discusses basic concepts of water chemistry and hydrology related to water sampling and analysis, instrumentation, water quality data analysis, and evaluation and reporting results. It includes a CD-ROM with video footage of proper collection procedures, hands-on field and lab activities, and field tours.

While tremendous progress has been made in remediating sites that have been contaminated by chlorinated solvents, stabilizers that were added to chlorinated solvents in order to improve their performance have been overlooked. This book focuses on the little-known contaminant 1,4-Dioxane. It presents a forensic investigation of source apportionment at solvent release sites and focuses on areas of interest including: why solvent stabilizers are used; how they become concentrated in vapor degreasing wastes; and how sites contaminated with solvent stabilizers can be identified, investigated, and remediated.

Floods are the most prevalent natural hazard in Europe, despite a long history of flood defence measures. Has flood risk increased in Europe? How, where, and why?

Are climate change impacts apparent? Do socioeconomic trends and associated land-use and land-cover change contribute to risk? This text considers specific aspects of flood risk change across Europe, national and regional perspectives, detection and attribution of change, the re-insurer’s viewpoint, as well as historical floods and future projections of flood risk.

This text focuses on the economic tools available for stormwater runoff control. It addresses the true costs and benefits of stormwater management practices and examines the incentives that can be used to encourage their adoption. The book provides case studies demonstrating the application of various incentives, such as tradable allowances and fees with rebate. It also presents the theory behind the different mechanisms used and illustrates successes and potential obstacles to implementation.

Urban and Highway Stormwater Pollution

Urban Storm Water Management Hormoz Pazwash Boswell Engineering, South Hackensack, New Jersey, USA

Urbanization has increased both the peak and the volume of storm water runoff, reduced infiltration, and degraded water quality; as a result, storm water practices are constantly evolving.

This book covers the management and design of drainage and storm water systems. Numerous examples provide every hydrologic and hydraulic calculation involved in storm water management. The text also contains case studies that illustrate the methods and procedures for designing extended detention basins, infiltration basins, and underground retention/infiltration basins.
