Opis

The book starts with the basics of recapping groundwater and an overview of the development of electrical resistivity methods. It covers the resistivity tomography for the identification of potential boreholes in hard rock regions, resource evaluation through remote sensing along with GIS, and aquifer parameterization through pumping tests. It d

Recenzje

"…The ultimate message of the book is ‘groundwater modeling’ as the core issue of management. But to be successful predictive tools the models need to be built on the foundation of sound hydrogeological information. It is a dynamic, complex process evolving through time taking into account all the factors, local and regional, influencing the groundwater regime and management strategies. This book, I am sure, will enormously benefit the hydrogeological community. Editors, M. Thangarajan and V.P.Singh should be complimented for this wonderful publication, no doubt an academic excellence."
