Groundwater prospecting and management / by H. P. Patra, Shyamal Kumar Adhikari, Subrata Kunar. - Singapore : Springer, 2016. - xix, 217 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. - Springer Hydrogeology, .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Remote sensing in groundwater studies -- Chapter 3. Ground water geology and geological prospecting -- Chapter 4. Geophysical Prospecting for Groundwater -- Chapter 5. Borehole Geology and Well Logging -- Chapter 6. Aquifer Parameter, Pump Test and the Yield -- Chapter 7. Groundwater quality and contamination -- Chapter 8. Groundwater Legislation and Management -- References.
The book provides an elaborate treatment of groundwater prospecting and management covering remote sensing, geological-geophysical cum hydrogeological studies, exploration (geological and geophysical), development (well logging techniques, pump test, its analysis and applications in well design), contamination (pollution of groundwater) and regulatory legislations regarding groundwater utilization under one cover. The book presents an elucidation of fundamental and theoretical background of each technique supported by necessary illustrative examples and exclusive case studies. It is a text-cum-reference book not only for students, research scholars and practicing earth scientists but also for practicing civil and agricultural engineers working in the application of groundwater resources, engaged in its exploration, development, contamination, legislation and management. The general readers can also refer the book for understanding the groundwater domain for adequate knowledge, as groundwater resources are essential life support commodity which is replenishable but not inexhaustible.
