Ground-Water Microbiology and Geochemistry

Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology Patrick A. Domenico and Franklin W. Schwartz "The book is highly recommended to professionals in hydrogeology and should prove a valuable textbook for postgraduate teaching." —Geological Magazine Rather than viewing hydrogeology as a fragmented collection of facts and formulas, this unique reference, grounded in clear conceptual material, amplified with real-world illustrations, provides an intuitive understanding of the total science. Discussion includes the hydrologic cycle and the porosity and permeability of porous material, as well as fluid, energy, and mass transport in porous media. The book features numerous problem sets, worked examples, and suggestions for further reading. 1990 (0 471-50744-X) 824 pp. Climate Change and U.S. Water Resources Edited by Paul E. Waggoner "This book is a great source of information for those interested in the potential impacts of climate change on water resources." —Environment Developed from the findings of a multidisciplinary panel of experts from the AAAS Committee on Climate, this extensive, detailed work sheds light on the interrelationships of climate change, water availability, and water needs. Discussion includes climate forecasting; vulnerability of water systems; floods and droughts; irrigation; water quality; recreation and wildlife; urban water; water, electricity, and institutional innovation; reallocation by markets and prices; the political agenda; and more. 1990 (0 471-61838-1) 496 pp.
