Global Groundwater: Source, Scarcity, Sustainability, Security and Solutions presents a compilation of compelling insights to groundwater scenarios affecting groundwater-stressed regions across the world. Thematic sub-sections include groundwater studies on quantity, exploration, quality and pollution, economics, management and policies, groundwater and society, and sustainable sources and efficient solutions. Chapters are written by leading global experts and researchers and offer unique knowledge on groundwater studies for scientists, planners, and policymakers. The book provides a unique, unparalleled opportunity to integrate knowledge on groundwater, ranging from availability to pollution, nation-level groundwater management to transboundary aquifer governance, and global-scale review to local-scale case studies. Provides interdisciplinary content that bridges the knowledge from groundwater sources to solutions and sustainability, from science to policy, and from technology to clean water and food Includes global and regional reviews and case studies, building a bridge between broad reviews of groundwater-related issues by domain expertsFeatures detailed case studies by specific areaIdentifies pathways for transforming groundwater knowledge to policy and governance, including groundwater security and sustainability INDICE: Section I Groundwater Quantity (exploration and estimation) Section II Groundwater Quality and Pollution Section III Interactions between Groundwater and Surface Waters (Oceans and Rivers) Section IV Climate Change impact on groundwater Section V Groundwater and Society Section VI Transboundary groundwater basins (issues and solutions) Section VII Solution (policy interventions, governance and innovation) Section VIII Security and Sustainability (drinking water and food production)
