Groundwater Assessment and Management A Guidebook for Water Utilities and Municipal Authorities
Groundwater beneath cities is important. Water utilities and private abstractors use is it as a secure source of water-supply and municipal authorities have to cope with it when planning sanitation and using underground space for building and transportation infrastructure, but all too often neither...
