The art and science of groundwater age dating

Traditionally concerned with the flow rate calculation, recharge estimation, and renewability of groundwater resources, the application of groundwater age data has now expanded to include such issues as the calibration of groundwater flow and transport models, the management of dry land salinity, and the study of groundwater vulnerability and pollution. In short, thanks to both technical developments in the field and worldwide concerns about water resources, the study of groundwater age has coalesced into a potent and much respected field. In this comprehensive book, the field of groundwater age dating receives the major reference it needs and deserves.

Written by three leading experts in the field, Groundwater Age aggregates, in one volume, state-of-the-art knowledge concerning groundwater dating, including its historical development, principles, applications, various methods, and likely future progress in its concepts.

The book discusses such topics as:

  • Essential definitions and the basics of groundwater dating science
  • The history of groundwater dating, including pioneers and key contributors to the field
  • Applications and uses of age data for consulting companies and resource managers
  • Various methods for age dating young, old, and very old groundwaters
  • New mathematical approaches
  • Modeling of groundwater age and residence time distributions
  • Thoughts on and suggestions for current practices and future progress

Presenting modern knowledge and cutting-edge research simply and clearly, Groundwater Age will satisfy and stimulate both seasoned professionals and student novices alike.
