An essential and timely resource for professionals and scholars in hydrogeology, environmental science, and water resource management.
This expertly written guide takes readers through every stage of groundwater studies—from initial reconnaissance and monitoring to advanced modeling and sustainable extraction planning. The book emphasizes the critical role of data collection, mapping, and analysis in understanding aquifer dynamics and supporting informed decision-making.
With growing concerns about water scarcity and contamination, the book explores both natural and artificial groundwater recharge techniques, including rainwater harvesting and inverted recharge wells. It highlights how regional factors such as soil, climate, and land use must be considered to ensure the effectiveness of recharge strategies.
A standout feature of the book is its practical focus on tools like hydrogeological maps, isopleth maps, and morphometric analysis, which help identify groundwater potential zones and optimize well placement. It also discusses the importance of pumping tests, aquifer parameter determination, and groundwater budgeting—vital components in maintaining long-term water sustainability.
Chaitanya S. Agarwal offers not only scientific frameworks but also policy insights for managing water resources responsibly. The book underscores that exceeding the sustainable yield of aquifers can have far-reaching consequences for agriculture, industry, and public health, making sustainable practices an urgent priority.
