In addition to the quantitative and physical aspects of hydrology and water management, due attention has been paid to chemical and biological properties and qualitative aspects of surface and subsurface waters. The scope is relatively wide, also including relevant terms from science and engineering. As far as the depth of the coverage goes, some limitations had to be set, for example, on terms related to sedimentology and oceanography. The scope does not extend beyond the tidal limit, i.e. terms on seawater, sea waves and tides are included only as far as they affect the quantities or qualities of inland waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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); environmental regulators, legislators, administrators, and consulting engineers in hydrogeology and hydrology.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As its title suggests, this dictionary deals with water: water in relation to engineering projects designed to utilize it, to control it, or to defend us against it; water as a basic element of our environment, and water as the subject of a variety of physical phenomena. Accordingly, the coverage is both comprehensive and wide, encompassing the following:Water: physical properties and phenomena; hydraulics, hydrodynamics and hydrostatics; waves and tides; hydrology, fluvial hydraulics and groundwater flow; geomorphology and sediment transport; selected terms on hydrography and limnology.Hydraulic Engineering: aspects of design, construction, operation and maintenance; river engineering, dams and reservoirs; coastal engineering and marine technology; flood control, dikes and barriers; waterways, locks and weirs, canals; hydraulic aspects of tunnels and bridges; harbours, breakwaters and navigation facilities; dredging and bed protection; pumps, turbines and water power; circuits, pipelines and appurtenances.Water Management: water supply, irrigation and agricultural engineering; water quality, waste-water and cooling-water; drainage and groundwater works. Experimental Aspects: scale modelling and testing methods; measuring methods and instruments, hydrometry.

Book excerpt: Water Quality Management covers the fundamentals of water quality; water quality modeling and systems analysis of streams, reservoirs, and estuaries; and practical water quality topics and problems. The book presents topics on the legal aspects; the physical, chemical, and biological dimensions of water quality; and water quality requirements. The text also describes the pollution inputs from both point and nonpoint sources; eutrophication; thermal pollution; and groundwater quality. Detailed discussions on water quality parameters and characteristics; hydrologic and hydraulic aspects of water quality; mixing; and simple and complex water quality models are also included. The book further tackles topics on waste assimilative capacity determination, as well as effluent outfall design. Practicing environmental engineers and professionals involved in pollution abatement programs, environmental students undertaking studies in water quality management, and professionals involved in water quality management or water resources problems will find the text quite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology are expanding as the Earth's water is being recognized by governments and individuals as a shrinking resource--no entity can afford to take water for granted. At the present time, there is no single reference source for definitions. The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology is a practical, comprehensive reference guide with complete definitions of terms in hydrogeology and other fields closely related to water practices. This concise reference not only defines terms and concepts, but also provides a clear explanation of key elements so that an in-depth understanding of processes may be obtained. * With more than 2,000 entries, from "absolute permeability" to the "Z-R relationship", this dictionary features the most up-to-date vocabulary in hydrology and hydrogeology. This dictionary would be of use to practicing scientists and professionals in all the fields of water science. * More than 340 graphs, tables and diagrams complement the entries in order to clarify terms, methods, or processes * Essential reference for students, academics, consultants, and practitioners in hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, environmental law, and the government

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only source that focuses exclusively on engineering and technology, this important guide maps the dynamic and changing field of information sources published for engineers in recent years. Lord highlights basic perspectives, access tools, and English-language resources—directories, encyclopedias, yearbooks, dictionaries, databases, indexes, libraries, buyer's guides, Internet resources, and more. Substantial emphasis is placed on digital resources. The author also discusses how engineers and scientists use information, the culture and generation of scientific information, different types of engineering information, and the tools and resources you need to locate and access that material. Other sections describe regulations, standards and specifications, government resources, professional and trade associations, and education and career resources. Engineers, scientists, librarians, and other information professionals working with engineering and technology information will welcome this research
