Contributor(s): Post, Vincent.
Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2019Description: xvi, 403p.ISBN: 9781107030596.Subject(s): Coasts | HydrogeologyDDC classification: 551.49 | J56c Summary: Water resources are of enormous societal and ecological importance. In coastal areas, they are under ever greater pressure due to population growth, more affluent lifestyles, food production and the growing tourism industry. Changes to the coastal landscape, through urbanisation and land reclamation, and by natural processes such as climate change and sea level rise, modify the interaction between seawater and groundwater and put water resources at risk. This comprehensive volume covers both theory and practice of coastal hydrogeology. It discusses hydrochemistry; submarine groundwater discharge; groundwater management; palaeo-hydrology; land reclamation; climate change and sea level rise; and mathematical models of variable-density flow. With its up-to-date coverage and numerous case studies that illustrate practical implications, it is perfect for students, practitioners, managers and researchers who wish to develop an in-depth understanding of topics relevant to sustainably managing coastal groundwater resources.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
