Series: IAH - International Contributions to Hydrogeology
“[The authors] commit to not only providing strong technical discussion but also giving perspective on the utility of the data and how it applies to the world we live and work in. The subject matter is written with a strong technical and theoretical foundation that is described in terms for the general remedial practitioner without diluting the scientific credibility.”
The History of Hydrogeology is a first attempt to bring the story of the evolution of the science of hydrogeology together from a country- or regionspecific viewpoint. It takes the story for specific key countries until around 1975 to 1980. This is when hydrogeology was still evolving and developing, and in some areas doing so quite rapidly. The book has been written not only for practitioners of hydrogeology and hydrology but also for teachers and students to see the context of the evolution of the science around the globe.
—Michael Skinner, Michael J. Skinner Consulting, LLC, New Jersey, USA
“The authors’ approach and selection of topics is excellent, as they draw important connections between groundwater quality and supply, surface water hydrology, and GIS, and discuss tools and implications associated with interpolative and simulation-based conceptualizations. ... The authors cover a tremendous amount of material, and merge old with the new in an easy-to-understand and well-organized manner.” —Mark Kram, Groundswell Technologies, Inc., California, USA
A reference for students, researchers, and environmental professionals, this book covers conceptual site model development, spatial data analysis, and visual data presentation for hydrogeology and groundwater remediation. Written by expert practitioners, this fullcolor book with over 500 illustrations demonstrates how fundamental hydrogeological concepts are translated into quantitative, high-resolution graphics. The authors explain analytical methods, such as contouring and groundwater modeling, through practical real-life examples. Data-rich case studies in groundwater remediation and water resources illustrate the controversial connections between conceptual site models and environmental policy.

Fuzzy Logic and Hydrological Modeling
Wadi Hydrology
Zekai Sen
Zekai Sen
Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
The hydrological sciences typically present grey or fuzzy information, making them a choice challenge for fuzzy logic application. Presenting an authoritative resource on fuzzy logic modeling as it relates to water science, the author takes an approach that incorporates verbal expert views and other parameters that allow him to eliminate the use of mathematics. The book’s first seven chapters expose the fuzzy logic principles, processes and design for a fruitful inference system with many hydrological examples. The last two chapters present the use of those principles in larger scale within the hydrological cycle.
Arguably the first book devoted entirely to examining this important resource, Wadi Hydrology presents the methodologies required for sustainable management of wadis and their water resources. Through unique physical approaches, field cases, sample interpretations, and various applications to different models, this book provides an in-depth understanding of these systems that illustrates the efficiency of harnessing water from wadis. The author compiles the most up-to-date information on arid region hydrology, including specific techniques for hydrological calculations and desertification assessments, and includes examples and solved problems in each chapter.

Drinking Water Fundamentals of Water Treatment Unit Processes Physical, Chemical, and Biological
Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification Second Edition
David Hendricks
D. Roy Cullimore
Carefully designed to balance coverage of theoretical and practical principles, this textbook delineates the principles that support practice, using the unit processes approach as the organizing concept. Since technologies change but principles remain constant, the author identifies strands of theory rather than discusses the latest technologies, giving students a clear understanding of basic principles. With chapter glossaries, sidebars, illustrative examples, spreadsheet tables, problems, and a solutions manual, this book offers a complete presentation of the full scope of biological treatment. Additional supporting material is available for download on the web. • Covers unit processes common to drinking water, wastewater, and any water requiring treatment • Presents theory and practice for each unit process and key factors in development • Examines uncommon issues that aid in applications principles, such as submerged flow for a Parshall flume and Henry’s law constants for 12 gases at different temperatures • Reviews how the field arrived at its present state-of-the-art technologies to shed light on current practices
In a radical departure from the classical reductionist identification of bacteria dominated by genetic and biochemical analysis of separated strains of bacteria, this book takes a generalistic approach utilizing the form, function, and habitat of communities of bacteria. This completely revised and updated second edition introduces the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in water, gas, oil, food, or even air. The book allows readers to start with a symptom, uncover the bacterial activities, and then identify the communities distinctly enough to allow management and control. • Presents a new classification system for bacterial communities based upon their effect and activities, and not their composition • Defines the major types of bacterial communities using a glossary approach and would embrace the major known bacterial structures (e.g., pitting and perforation of steel, ochrous plugging of wells and drains, and the generation of rust) • Provides a new approach using easy-to-follow language, allowing non-microbiologists to feel more comfortable in addressing significant bacteriologically-influenced events • Features a broad spectrum approach unlike most
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA
Understanding how the field arrived at its present state of the art places the technology in a more logical context and gives students a strong foundation in basic principles. This book does more than build technical proficiency, it adds insight and understanding to the broader aspects of water treatment unit processes.
Pedagogical Features: • End-of-chapter glossaries provide a ready reference and add terms pertinent to topic but beyond the scope of the chapter • Example problems involve spreadsheets and emphasize tradeoffs and scenarios rather than single answers • Solutions manual includes spreadsheets for problems • Supporting material is available for download

This book provides a comprehensive view 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.
Outlining proven approaches for a secure drinking water supply anywhere, this book focuses on the history, current conditions, and future of drinking water supplies for cities in the northeastern United States. Chapters examine how, when, and where it makes environmental, economic, and social sense to protect and manage upland forests to produce water as a downstream service. Using city watershed case studies, the text demonstrates that such stewardship is far more preferable than developing land and using engineering, technology, and artificial filtration as a solution to maintaining clean drinking water.

The metrification of water uses and their monetary value is a first important step in understanding how reallocation of water among users could help mitigating many of current water problems in Spain. However, water reallocation among users or from users to nature is far from simple. The book explores the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance—people’s needs, wishes, (vested) interests, aspirations—that often determines the result of decisions and, sometimes, leads water management to a deadlock.

Although it draws extensively upon the international literature, and is richly illustrated with examples, it gives special emphasis to tropical conditions. Here both Amazonia and the authors’ distinguished record and enterprises are prominent. … Issues of applied limnology— especially with reservoirs—are treated extensively, as well as past trends and future prospects in the science. These features, with the combination of length and exceptionally rich illustration, mark a unique contribution to the environmental literature, and especially apt for developing countries.”
“One of the greatest challenges for society in the twenty-first century is, without doubt, the sustainable management of water. … A goal which can only be achieved, as history has proven, by adapting solutions to existing conditions. This constitutes in itself a powerful reason to devote the time to read this book, for it will allow the reader to learn how men and women have done, in every age, what the circumstances required at the time. … This is a lesson taught masterfully by PierreLouis Viollet ...”
