Ground-Water Vulnerability. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 244
Nonpoint-source contamination is a substantial
threat to ground-water resources. Understanding
ground-water vulnerability (GWV) to nonpoint-source
contamination is necessary to implement best
management practices for resource protection and
remediation. However, reaching such understanding
is often complicated because of the inherent spatial
and temporal variability of hydrogeologic properties
of the aquifer, land-use practices, and climate
change and variability. This book provides an
overview of approaches for improved understanding of
GWV and has specific application to the High Plains
[Ogallala] aquifer. Chapters describe a synthesis
of GWV modeling approaches; application of
statistical GWV models with ground-water flow
simulations; a stochastic approach to quantify GWV
model prediction uncertainty; and explore the
effects of natural climate variability on GWV from
the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific
Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO). This book is written for
resource managers, scientists, students, and the
general public interested in GWV analysis and (or)
the High Plains [Ogallala] aquifer.
