Groundwater Fluxes Across Interfaces [PDF ebook] 

Estimates of groundwater recharge and discharge rates are needed at many differentscales for many different purposes. These include such tasks as evaluating landsliderisks, managing groundwater resources, locating nuclear waste repositories, and estimatingglobal budgets of water and greenhouse gasses. Groundwater Fluxes Across Interfaces focuses on scientific challenges in (1) the spatial and temporal variability ofrecharge and discharge, (2) how information at one scale can be used at another, and (3) the effects of groundwater on climate and vice versa.
