Hydrogeology and Geochemistry of Bottled Spring Water in the United States

Bottled spring water is one of the most popular beverages in the world. The reasons for this popularity include its convenience, its wide availability, and its perceived purity. In addition, bottled water produced from different springs contain differing kinds and amounts of dissolved minerals and gases. That, in turn, can produce subtly different flavors in water […]

Karst: Environment and Management of Aquifers

Karst comprises complex systems of soluble rocks and water forming a surface and underground environment with rich but vulnerable aquifer systems that produce the world’s largest proportion of pristine water. The interactions of soluble rocks and water create landscapes and subsurface forms that are not found in any other rock or aquifer. These features range

Structural Geology Applied to Fractured Aquifer Characterization

The study of fractured (hard rock) aquifers is increasingly pressing because they occupy vast areas of all continents, and the dependence on this type of aquifer for water supply is growing fast. In hard rocks, groundwater flows through void spaces that are present in fractures that form a connected network; its characterization requires knowledge of

Introduction to Karst Aquifers

The focus of this karst aquifer book is on water supply in formations composed of rocks that can dissolve (aquifers composed predominantly of carbonate and evaporite rocks). The study of carbonate and evaporite sedimentary rocks is a complex field in geology involving physical, chemical, and biological processes along with an understanding of sedimentation in fluvial

Groundwater and Hydrothermal Ore Deposits

Many of the world’s most important ore deposits were formed from groundwater, a process that was not well understood until relatively recently. However, advances in hydrogeology have shed light on this phenomenon. Case studies presented in this book profile four such ore deposits: three in sedimentary basins (Mississippi Valley-type, unconformity-type uranium, and stratiform copper) and

Geologic Frameworks for Groundwater Flow Models

This book introduces techniques for creating the underlying geologic framework of groundwater flow models. It is arranged around a hypothetical site with contaminated groundwater, beginning with a discussion of data collection and geologic interpretation, then delves into the steps required to build a realistic numerical model.

Fractures and Faults in Sandstone and Sandstone-Shale/Mudstone Sequences and Their Impact on Groundwater

This book focusses on the properties most relevant to groundwater science such as permeability, porosity, as well as fracture length and frequency (density).
