Description:
This volume blends papers from the unique regulator-led national groundwater modelling programme of England and Wales with research papers on groundwater modelling from the UK academic community. This provides an interesting contrast between practitioner and research based approaches to assess and predict the anthropogenic impacts and environmental pressures in light of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.
Indian Palaeoproterozoic geology and its global context are considered. Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary basins and supracrustal sequences associated with the major Archaean nucleii of the Indian shield, their inversion, deformation, metamorphism and pluton emplacement are showcased in the broader context of global tectonic events including supercontinent assembly and break-up.
Papers from authors in the UK, USA, Germany and Austria describe how groundwater has been both a valuable water supply and an engineering or mobility challenge in historical and recent conflicts. Examples of current research show that a distinct discipline of military hydrogeology is beginning to emerge.

This volume provides an authoritative and comprehensive, state-of-the-art, international review and handbook on hot desert terrains, their geomaterials and influence on civil engineering site investigation, design and construction. It is an essential reference book for professionals that will also to be a valuable textbook for students and be digestible to the non-specialist.
