Groundwater Flow Understanding - From Local to Regional Scale

Informationen zum Autor 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. Zusammenfassung Sustainable groundwater development programme requires knowledge of the prevailing flow system, extending from local to regional scale. This book discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods of defining, preventing, controlling and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater.
