Preface

In practice, most of the world's aquifers are inherently heterogeneous and isotropic in nature. This calls for continuous improvement and understanding of hydrogeology site characterisation techniques in theory and application to better understand and manage groundwater. The effects of climate change have in some cases resulted in unpredictably prolonged and frequent droughts, which have brought stress to groundwater resources. The effect often translates into unpredictable borehole yields and sometimes the drying of boreholes.

This book is structured into two sections that cover aspects of hydrogeology site characterisation and groundwater management.
