The material presented in this book covers such diverse areas as shifts in precipitation patterns in a changing global climate, the implications for floods or drought, and considerations of managing water resources stressed by poor management practices, overexploitation, and cli…
Water on Earth is constantly moving in different forms. It is found in the clouds in the sky, waves in the ocean, flowing rivers and runoff streams, underground aquifers, and even frozen glaciers. This continuous movement on, above, and under the Earth's surface that transforms …
This volume examines how the water cycle works, and how it impacts life on Earth.
"Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes. A major challenge that faces the climate and hyd…
This textbook discusses the major elements of the geochemical cycles and global fluxes found in the atmosphere, land, lakes, rivers, biota, and oceans, as well as the human effects on these fluxes. It takes an integrated, multidisciplinary, and global approach to geochemistry a…

Using a quantitative modeling approach, this volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the movement of water in the unsaturated zone (and associated transport phenomena) - the pathway of many contaminants to the saturated zone where much of the world's potable water is stored…
