Water availability and usage on the New Mexico/Mexico border.Learn more about groundwater management, water contamination, and water wells with the following books: Groundwater Contamination (Volumes 1 and 2) Chester D. Rail (2000) Fully updated and expanded into two volumes, Groundwater Contamination comprehensively explains the sources of groundwater contamination, the regulations governing it, and the technologies for abating it. Volume I covers all major contaminants and explains the hydrology hydrology, study of water and its properties, including its distribution and movement in and through the land areas of the earth. The hydrologic cycle consists of the passage of water from the oceans into the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration (or and data used to determine the extent of pollution. Volume 2 discusses aquifer aquifer (ăk`wĭfər): see artesian well. aquifer In hydrology, a rock layer or sequence that contains water and releases it in appreciable amounts. management, including technologies to control and stabilize multiple influxes into the water table. This volume outlines strategies for stormwater control and groundwater restoration and presents numerous case histories of site analysis and remediation based on Department of Energy and state documents. Among the many new features of this edition are a full discussion of risk assessment and the preparation of groundwater protection plans, and references linking the text to over 2,000 water-related Web sites. Volume 1,187 pages, hardcover. Volume 2,174 pages, hardcover. Member: $199.95. Nonmember: $233.50. Catalog #973. Water Wells: Implementation, Maintenance and Restoration Michel Detay (1997) This book presents the basic concepts of hydrogeology hy·dro·ge·ol·o·gy n. The branch of geology that deals with the occurrence, distribution, and effect of ground water. hy , explaining the fundamentals of subsurface hydraulics hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids. The term is applied commonly to the study of the mechanical properties of water, other liquids, and even gases when the effects of compressibility are small. . It also introduces the main exploration methods used in hydrogeology, the criteria for developing groundwater resources, and the main principles of water chemistry. Detailed descriptions of the various drilling techniques are given, and each stage in the design and construction of water wells is set out. Numerous practical examples are included. The book also describes database management tools that can be used to monitor and store information. Adopting a practical approach, Water Wells emphasizes field-based trials and effective implementation. 379 pages, softcover. Member: $97. Nonmember: $105. Catalog #919.
