Discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods for defining, preventing, controlling, and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater. It highlights specific issues and stresses the importance of the sustainable development of groundwater and its social and economic implications.

About the author
J. Joel Carrillo R. is the Professor of groundwater at the Institute of Geography, UNAM (México) and obtained relevant experience in Australia. He and his students research a variety of hydrogeological issues related to the groundwater flow system analysis as applied to the definition of environmental problems from where agreeable solutions
may be proposed. This systemic view of groundwater he also thoroughly been lectured in Latin America. He is the President of the IAH-Mexican Chapter.
Adrian Ortega is Professor at the National University of Mexico. His research interest focuses on groundwater flow, origin, chemistry and solute and contaminant transport
in high compressible closed basin aquitards, from detailed local field instrumentation sites to watershed scale.
