Studies in Catchment Hydrology
Gives readers a theoretical yet practically-oriented background to recharge and discharge measurement in catchments.
The booklets from The Basics of Recharge and Discharge series are now available as a complete set, packaged in a presentation binder as Studies in Catchment Hydrology. Over half a decade in the making, this landmark series gives readers a theoretical yet practically-oriented background to recharge and discharge measurement in catchments.
This series will help those working in catchment management to understand the problems we face and decide what technique might best serve their situation when making field assessments. It describes the groundwater recharge and discharge mechanisms occurring in nature and presents the various techniques for determining recharge and discharge rates.
Each booklet covers a specific technique for detecting, measuring or modelling groundwater recharge and discharge. The booklets document a range of techniques and discuss their advantages and disadvantages, possible applications, and the factors to be considered when choosing a technique.
Features
- Based on techniques used by the highly acclaimed CSIRO Land and Water laboratories.
- Includes clear worked examples, case studies, and details on where to find further advice.
- Has applications for controlling salinity and waterlogging in dryland areas.
