This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of water resource recovery from water treatment as presented by leading researchers at the International Conference on Wider-Uptake of Water Resource Recovery from Wastewater Treatment (ICWRR), held in Palermo, Italy on June 18-21, 2024.

This book aims to summarize and report the major research achievements and validation results under the global land cover (GLC) initiative led by the Group Earth Observation (GEO).

Injuries due to air turbulence has increased recently, therefore there is considerable concern and interest in understanding and detecting it more accurately.

Water mites are a dominant feature of the fauna of all freshwater ecosystems.

Each booklet in The Basics of Recharge and Discharge series covers a specific technique for detecting, measuring or modelling groundwater recharge and discharge.

This addition to The Basics of Recharge and Discharge series deals with the surface water balance approaches that form the traditional basis of hydrological investigations.

Electromagnetic induction (EM) techniques are used in recharge/discharge studies by providing measurements of the apparent electrical conductivity of soil profiles.

This booklet covers the soil tracer techniques that have been shown to be useful for Australian situations.

This booklet outlines the properties of geological materials which enable them to accept, store and transmit groundwater, together with a description of the principal types of aquifer which are commonly found to occur in the field.

Analytical methods of assessing the response of groundwater levels to a range of factors, including elastic (barometric and tidal) influences in confined aquifers and recharge to unconfined aquifers due to infiltration of rain and other surface water, are presented.

This paper addresses the need to model recharge to groundwater systems at the scale of whole catchments.

Measurements in and just below the plant root zone, using principles of soil physics, can be used to estimate recharge.

These notes are restricted to those geochemical methods which have been used to quantify rates of groundwater recharge.

Groundwater discharge is associated with salinity and pollution problems.

Geelong's Changing Landscape offers an insightful investigation of the ecological history of the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region.

Estuaries are dynamic coastal waterways where salt and fresh water mix.

This practical field guide describes and illustrates in colour 90 common and widespread wetland plants found in Queensland, and gives a distribution map for each species.

Since it first became known to European scientists and naturalists in 1798, the platypus has been the subject of controversy, interest and absolute wonder.

This edited volume reviews our past and present understanding of the ecology of Australian freshwater fishes.

The bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea possesses a unique natural heritage stretching back over 50 million years since the break-up of the great southern continent of Gondwanaland.

Wetlands are often seen as the ultimate symbol of beauty and tranquillity, their clear waters sheltering mysterious animals in a world where change is gentle and slow, from dragonflies skimming above their own reflections to the fishes glimpsed briefly below.
