Hydrology and the hydrosphere

Although Asia is the least urbanized continent, it contains half of the world's megacities and many of the world's fastest-growing economies.

There is little disagreement that the potential effects of water contamination on human health and the environment should not be ignored, even though the exact nature of those effects is not yet fully understood.

Having a robust drought monitoring system for Ethiopia is crucial to mitigate the adverse impacts of droughts.

Water exploitation has increased notably in the world during the last 250 years since the onset of industrialisation.

Understanding that the natural world beneath our feet is the point at which civilization meets the natural world is critical to the success of restoration and prevention efforts to reduce contaminant impacts and improve the global environment because of one simple fact - contaminants do not respect country borders.

Will tensions and disputes among states sharing international water courses and lakes turn into active conflicts?

Increasing demand for water, higher standards of living, depletion of resources of acceptable quality, and excessive water pollution due to urban, agricultural, and industrial expansions have caused intense environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments.

The competition for groundwater sources as a water supply reinforces the need for a strong economic rationale in decision-making.

Groundwater is becoming increasingly scarce while the demand for water continues to grow at a global scale.

This book provides diverse information and critical know-how to implement appropriate methodology and cost-efficient monitoring and evaluation systems better suited to assess the impacts of soil conservation and wastershed multi-sectoral development activities.

Aiming to describe the role of dominant ecological factors and of human activities on the organisms of running water and the functioning of the ecosystem, this work covers the few European water courses that are well known in ecological studies.

Pesticde use in agriculture and non-agriculture settings has increased dramatically over the last several decades.

The completion of the initial phase of the U.

Nowadays, textile units utilize a number of dyes, chemicals, reagents, and solvents to impart the desired quality to fabrics, and generate a substantial quantity of effluents/contaminants, which cause severe environmental problems if disposed of without proper treatment.

This volume provides in-depth coverage of the latest in remote sensing of hydrological extremes:  both floods and droughts.

This book, designed as a handbook, provides a systematic treatment of analytical solutions describing groundwater flow during aquifer tests.

Hormones and Pharmaceuticals Generated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations: Transport in Water and Soil examines how hormones, antibiotics and pharmaceuticals generated from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) of cattle, poultry, swine and aquaculture are transported in water and soil.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, our nation began to grapple with the legacy of past disposal practices for toxic chemicals.

The oceans represent a vast, complex and poorly understood ecosystem.

Humans have always been fascinated by marine life, from extremely small diatoms to the largest mammal that inhabits our planet, the blue whale.

At a time when the polar regions are undergoing rapid and unprecedented change, understanding exchanges of momentum, heat and salt at the ice-ocean interface is critical for realistically predicting the future state of sea ice.

Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology attempts to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of xenobiotics, in any segment of the environment, as well as toxicological implications.

The atmosphere and the ocean form a coupled system which exchanges heat, momentum and water at the air-sea interface.

accommodate terrestrial flooding.

The state organisation responsible for coordinating the hydropower el- tricity system in Norway ("e;Samkjoringen"e;) contacted me in 1990 about the advanced plan for deregulating the electricity system, separating gene- tion, transmission, and distribution and introducing a wholesale market for electricity.

Wastewater treatment technology is undergoing a profound transformation due to the fundamental changes in regulations governing the discharge and disposal of h- ardous pollutants.

Only a few centuries ago, we knew very little about our planet Earth.

Many key issues in dynamical meteorology and physical oceanography depend on interactions among diverse spatial scales.
