Trends and Sustainability of Groundwater in Highly Stressed Aquifers

Population growth, urbanization and global climate change have increased urban and agricultural water demands, stressing aquifer systems where groundwater is a source of water supply. The availability and utility of groundwater may be further threatened by factors stressing the quality of groundwater, such as industrial and domestic wastes and agricultural intensification. This proceedings volume details problematic aquifer conditions, and solutions to them, around the world. The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research. Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world. The areas that we publish in include: • Ground water • Surface water • Snow and ice hydrology • Drought and desertification • Runoff modelling • Watershed • Remote sensing • Water quality • Water resources and management • Ecohydrology/hydro-ecology • Erosion and sediment • Tracer hydrology
