This book recognizes groundwater flow as a fundamental geologic agent, and presents a wide-ranging and illustrated overview of its history, principles, scientific consequences and practical utilization. The author, one of the founding fathers of modern hydrogeology, highlights key interrelationships between seemingly disparate processes and systems by tracing them to a common root cause - gravity-driven groundwater flow. Numerous examples demonstrate practical applications in a diverse range of subjects, including land-use planning, environment protection, wetland ecology, agriculture,...

This book provides a cross section of the theoretical and practical results achieved in gas-solid and liquid-solid adsorption. It contains monographs at a scientific level and some chapters include parts that can be used by Ph.D.-level students or by researchers working in industry.
