Inhaltsangabe

Over the last twenty years there have been new developments in the field of hydrogeology and an enlargement of the scope into environmental concerns. This dictionary incorporates the terms that have become important in the vocabulary of environmental hydrogeology to do justice to these new developments. It is in part a revised and enlarged edition of "Elsevier's Dictionary of Hydrogeology" which was published in 1969. Approximately two thirds of the material in this dictionary is new.The terms covered deal with the geology of groundwater within the framework of the hydrologic cycle, geohydrology, contaminant hydrology, computer application to groundwater and subsurface pollution problems, environmental implications of groundwater use, regulatory aspects of groundwater protection, wellhead protection programs, interaction of groundwater systems with biogeochemical cycles, geochemistry of natural waters and contaminant chemistry, and water resources management. The group of readers for which this work is intended are: earth scientists (earth-surface processes, hydrology, groundwater geology, groundwater flow, contaminant hydrology); environmental engineers (waste management and disposal, remedial activities in contaminated sites, environmental protection strategies, monitoring of pollution); and, environmental regulators, legislators, administrators, and consulting engineers in hydrogeology and hydrology.
