Integrated Groundwater Management
Author: Anthony J Jakeman
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319235761
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 756
Book Description
The aim of this book is to document for the first time the dimensions and requirements of effective integrated groundwater management (IGM). Groundwater management is a formidable challenge, one that remains one of humanity’s foremost priorities. It has become a largely non-renewable resource that is overexploited in many parts of the world. In the 21st century, the issue moves from how to simply obtain the water we need to how we manage it sustainably for future generations, future economies, and future ecosystems. The focus then becomes one of understanding the drivers and current state of the groundwater resource, and restoring equilibrium to at-risk aquifers. Many interrelated dimensions, however, come to bear when trying to manage groundwater effectively. An integrated approach to groundwater necessarily involves many factors beyond the aquifer itself, such as surface water, water use, water quality, and ecohydrology. Moreover, the science by itself can only define the fundamental bounds of what is possible; effective IGM must also engage the wider community of stakeholders to develop and support policy and other socioeconomic tools needed to realize effective IGM. In order to demonstrate IGM, this book covers theory and principles, embracing: 1) an overview of the dimensions and requirements of groundwater management from an international perspective; 2) the scale of groundwater issues internationally and its links with other sectors, principally energy and climate change; 3) groundwater governance with regard to principles, instruments and institutions available for IGM; 4) biophysical constraints and the capacity and role of hydroecological and hydrogeological science including water quality concerns; and 5) necessary tools including models, data infrastructures, decision support systems and the management of uncertainty. Examples of effective, and failed, IGM are given. Throughout, the importance of the socioeconomic context that connects all effective IGM is emphasized. Taken as a whole, this work relates the many facets of effective IGM, from the catchment to global perspective.

A System of Computer Programs (WAT{_}MOVE) for Transferring Data Among Data Bases in the US Geological Survey National Water Information System
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
This report describes WAT{_}MOVE, a system of computer programs that was developed for moving National Water Information System data between US Geological Survey distributed computer databases. WAT{_}MOVE has three major sub-systems: one for retrieval, one for loading, and one for purging. The retrieval sub-system creates transaction files of retrieved data for transfer and invokes a file transfer to send the transaction files to the receiving site. The loading sub-system reads the control and transaction files retrieved from the source database and loads the data in the appropriate files. The purging sub-system deletes data from a database. Although WAT{_}MOVE was developed for use by the Geological Survey's Hydrologic Investigations Program of the Yucca Mountain Project Branch, the software can be beneficial to any office maintaining data in the Site File, ADAPS (Automated Data Processing System), GWSI (Ground-Water Site Inventory), and QW (Quality of Water) sub-systems of the National Water Information System. The software also can be used to move data between databases on a single network node or to modify data within a database.
