Essentials of Hydrogeology

By B Gurugnanam

Hydrogeology is a discipline of considerable relevance to the nation. The responsibilities of hydrogeologists in pinpointing water resources and formulating administration strategies for sustainable groundwater utilization are of significant importance. The rapid growth of the population and concentration in urban areas has resulted in the overexploitation of groundwater and scarcity. Emerging issues such as seawater intrusion and the identification of appropriate artificial recharge mechanisms to replenish diminishing water levels are increasingly being discussed by a wide range of stakeholders.

The book primarily aims to consolidate information on the full spectrum of the subject, namely Hydrogeology, with a focus on geological concepts. The advent of modern techniques, including GIS, Remote Sensing, and GPS, equipped with the power of cutting-edge information technology, has opened up new opportunities for integrated groundwater studies. Consequently, this book endeavors to introduce GIS modeling and explore its potential in this field.
