Ground Water Resources of the World and Their Use

This book addresses the concerns with how climatic and human-induced changes will affect the world’s water resources. Specifically, it concentrates on answering the questions of how, when and where human-induced changes, together with weather and climatic extremes, will influence water resources and the sustainability of the biosphere upon which we depend. However, these questions are extremely difficult to answer without better access to improved assessment and analysis technologies.
