| Summary |
Many coastal regions rely on underground aquifers for a major portion of their freshwater supply. A practical, how-to guide, this book brings together new knowledge and new technologies useful to hydrogeologists, water resources engineers, and other professionals responsible for protecting and managing groundwater supplies. It provides useful methods and tools for modeling, monitoring, and managing coastal aquifers. International contributors present a worldwide perspective on a topic that is growing in importance and a companion CD-ROM provides computer programs, data files, sample output, co |
