Hydrology and the hydrosphere

This book is a collection of papers presented in the symposia, held in Beijing, on hydrogeology.

For integrated water resources management both blue and green water resources in a river basin and their spatial and temporal distribution have to be considered.

This second edition features new and expanded coverage of contaminant hydrogeologic investigations.

This work investigated two different approaches to optimize biological sulphate reduction in order to develop a process control strategy to optimize the input of an electron donor and to study how to increase the feasibility of using a cheap carbon source.

The aim of this book is to contribute to understanding risk knowledge and to forecasting components of early flood warning, particularly in the environment of tropical high mountains in developing cities.

This book, first published in 1983, incorporates a wealth of reference material - keys, nomograms, tables, charts - likely to be needed in the field for actual fieldwork.

This new book evaluates the risks and benefits of the widely used types of drinking water treatment technologies, based on assessment and comparison of chemicals used in treatment, by-products of chemicals, and non-treatment.

With many worked examples, this book provides a step-by-step training manual for water treatment calculations.

This book presents a detailed analysis in relation to human health risk assessment of the main toxic chemical pollutants in urban stormwater generated from urban traffic and land use activities.

Emerging Aquatic Contaminants: One Health Framework for Risk Assessment and Remediation in the Post COVID-19 Anthropocene highlights various sources and pathways of emerging contamination, including their distribution, occurrence, and fate in the aquatic environment.

This book aims to provide a fundamental grasp of graphene-based materials (GAMs) and their adsorption process.

This book is a comprehensive assessment of the pivotal role that membrane technology plays in addressing ongoing environmental and sustainability challenges.

Based on the past 30-years' research on the technical and cultural values of China's Grand Canal, this book, based on interdisciplinary research, studies the natural and social background of the evolution and development of different sections of the Grand Canal in different historical periods, as well as the interrelations between the Grand Canal and the Chinese politics, economics, and culture.

The Nile River Basin supports the livelihoods of millions of people in Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda, principally as water for agriculture and hydropower.

In recent years, citizen science has emerged as a powerful new concept to enable the general public, students, and volunteers to become involved in scientific research.

This interdisciplinary book brings philosophers and non-philosophers to the table to address questions of water ethics, specifically in terms of how moral questions inform decision making around water security at local, national, and international scales.

Water, Energy and Food are the very basic necessities of human life and all the three of them are interconnected with each other, this connection being called the Water-Energy-Food nexus.

This book documents and examines the state of health of coral reefs in the eastern tropical Pacific region.

This handbook offers an in-depth discussion of the world's oceans.

This is the first English book to address the current development of closed recirculating aquaculture systems (cRASs) in Japan, and its implications for industry in the near future.

The introduction of sports and recreational facilities into natural environments calls for reflection on their impact on fragile ecosystems.

Ecological modelling has developed rapidly in recent decades, with the focus primarily on the restoration of lakes and wetlands.

Technological improvements have greatly increased the ability of marine scientists to collect and analyze data over large spatial scales, and the resultant insights attainable from interpreting those data vastly increase understanding of poplation dynamics, evolution and biogeography.

Advanced mathematics used in engineering is studied here in this text which examines the relationship between the principles in natural processes and those employed in engineered processes.

This book focuses on the survey technology, post-processing technology, mapping technology and scientific application of the submarine topography and geomorphology in detail.

This book investigates how actors organize in order to solve a water quality problem.

Introducing Hydrology's New Benchmark Reference Here's the first book in nearly 30 years to provide comprehensive coverage of the current state of hydrologic knowledge and practice--saving you hours of time tracking down the latest techniques in professional journals.

Losses of life and property in the United Statesand throughout the worldresulting from hydrologic hazards, including floods, droughts, and related phenomena, are significant and increasing.

Marine debris from ships and other ocean-based sources-including trash and lost fishing gear-contributes to the spoiling of beaches, fouling of surface waters and the seafloor, and harm to marine animals, among other effects.

Reducing flood damage is a complex task that requires multidisciplinary understanding of the earth sciences and civil engineering.

This book reviews the Corps of Engineers' experiences to date with the concept of "e;adaptive management"e; and provides advice on additional and more effective implementation of this planning approach.

In this century, the United States will be challenged to provide sufficient quantities of high-quality water to its growing population.

The National Sea Grant College Program, created in 1966, has grown into a nationwide network of 30 individual Sea Grant programs located at some of the nation's top universities.

This book reviews the Corps of Engineers' experiences to date with the concept of "e;adaptive management"e; and provides advice on additional and more effective implementation of this planning approach.

A central goal of U.

Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of weather, seasonal climate, and hydrological prediction, and no forecast is complete without a description of its uncertainty.

Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes.

In this century, the United States will be challenged to provide sufficient quantities of high-quality water to its growing population.

For the past few years, the Corps has been working on what is known as the Restructured Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway Feasibility Study, the heart of which is a multibillion-dollar proposal to double the length of up to a dozen locks on the river.

The high latitudes of the Arctic and Antarctic, together with some mountainous areas with glaciers and long-lasting snow, are sometimes called the cryosphere-defined as that portion of the planet where water is perennially or seasonally frozen as sea ice, snow cover, permafrost, ice sheets, and glaciers.
