The Symposium was dedicated to the late George Burke Maxey and the keynote address was givern by Courney Riordan ... A debate format on "The issues of our time" featured national authorities presenting neutral, pro, and con views followed by audience reaction, and addressed nin topics: * Ground water pollution--an imminent disaster or limited problem; * Ground water quality standards--necessary or irrelevant; * Land application of waste--an important future alternative or an accident waiting to happen; * The federal ground water protection program--today's hope or tomorrow's undoing; * State ground water protection programs--adequate or inadequate; * The 208 planning approach to ground water protection--a terrible joke or a foot in the door; * Controlled degradation and/or protection zones--sense or nonsence; *Ground water models--practical tools or intellectual toys; * water borne disease--a current threat or a thing of the past."--Page iv.

The forty papers in this book explore the state of sustainable groundwater management in a wide range of countries and cultures, climates, and geologies. They are organized in topic areas covering flow, chemical water quality, biological water quality, remediation, engineering, and socio-economics. An introductory section presents a range of integrated regional-scale studies. This volume will interest groundwater specialists in industry and research, and will provide insight for other urban specialists, including planners.

International experts have contributed key chapters to this major work on groundwater contamination. Section 1: Methodology and Modeling deals with both organic and inorganic contaminants, including those from agricultural operations. Section 2: Case Studies presents contamination scenarios with both inorganic and organic chemicals including agriculturally-related constituents, such as the nitrates. This important new publication is a welcome addition to the literature and will enhance recent information on methodology, modeling and real-world situations. It is of interest to scientists and planners in local and national government; environmental chemists, geochemists, geologists, and health and safety officers; river authorities; hydrologists; and the mining and land reclamation industries.

More than 50% of the world's population already live in cities, and the proportion is rising extremely rapidly towards developed country levels of more than 90%. Groundwater from wells is the major source of water supply for many of these cities, however, groundwater is polluted by the cities that overlie it and sewerage systems are oft

The groundwater science and engineering has been closely connected with various fields (1) Groundwater Hydrology, (2) Groundwater Hydraulics or Geohydraulics, (3) Fluid Dynamics in Porous Media, (4) Groundwater Quality Engineering, (5) Soil Physics, and (6) Hydrogeology or Geohydrology. The purpose of the book is to present an update textbook of groundwater hydraulics, which includes all of basic items in above-mentioned fields, to students (of graduate school), researchers and practitioners. The students and beginners who intend to specialize in groundwater hydraulics through one semester will master contents of the book.

In 2000, various UN organizations launched a collaborative effort to assess the vulnerability of groundwater in several African cities. The project addressed the issue of aquifer vulnerability and the protection of groundwater quality. This book is a collection of thirty peer-reviewed papers on the topic, and provides a glimpse of the situation acr
