McGraw-Hill Education Groundwater Injection

Groundwater injection techniques, properly deployed, can sustain water availability where it is desperately needed This book shows water engineers and hydrologists how to use these techniques to improve water resource availability and guarantee its safety and quality. This resource introduces readers to the basic concepts of groundwater technologies designed to improve water resources availability and planning and goes on to cover risk, modeling, regulatory concepts, and sample projects. Review This book explores alternative programs for protecting water resources by using natural aquifer systems, and describes their limitations and design criteria, including regulations, groundwater modeling, risk assessment, and pertinent case studies. Two engineers and a hydrologist working in Florida present the groundwater equations that govern injection projects, outline geological characteristics to evaluate when considering injection programs as part of a utility system, and address some of the operational issues associated with injection programs. Several types of computer flow models and the threats posed by microorganisms are summarized. Sci-Tech Book News 20041201 From the Back Cover Groundwater Injection Modeling, Risks, and Regulations Written by the foremost practitioners and leading innovators in the field, Groundwater Injection details the fundamentals of groundwater technologies, explaining how to improve water resource utilization and bring more predictability to planning. It shows how to assess the suitability of these technologies to a particular situation, whether you are evaluating a major aquifer that supports a large urban area or the water table under local agricultural sites.
