CRC Press - Urban Groundwater: IAH Selected Papers on Hydrogeology 8

Urban groundwater has become one of the most pressing global issues over the last thirty years. As cities experience explosive population growth, the demand on groundwater supplies increases significantly. This book addresses the urgent need for long-term sustainability in water management, especially as anthropogenic activities lead to the degradation of available groundwater quality. Even for cities that do not rely heavily on groundwater for potable supply, managing the subsurface environment is necessary. Rising groundwater levels can create various complications, including unstable land surfaces. This collection of IAH selected papers provides essential insights into the challenges of urban hydrogeology. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how to manage subsurface water with respect and caution in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
