Publisher's Synopsis
A comprehensive account of hydrogeological surface and subsurface mapping is provided in this book. It is the first hydrogeological mapping manual to be truly interdisciplinary in its approach. It presumes considerable knowledge of geology, exploration geophysics, water chemistry and the fundamentals of soil science. The intention is that the book will enable the user to locate, assess and develop subsurface water resources. Mapping methods are discussed according to the type of geological environment in which they need to be used. The book will be of great value to hydrogeologists working for geological surveys, water authorities, industrial companies and academic institutions. The text will be of interest to ground water geologists and hydrogeologists, and engineering geologists.
