Written by an internationally renowned selection of scientists and practitioners, the book covers a broad range of established and novel approaches to applied urban ecology. Approaches chosen for the book are placed in the context of issues such as climate change, green- and open-space development, flood-risk assessment, threats to urban biodiversity, and increasing environmental pollutionApplied ecologyUrban ecology (Biology)Urban ecology (Biology)Applied ecologyApplied ecology.Urban ecology (Biology).Urban ecology (Biology)Applied ecology577.5/6Richter Matthias1964-915399Weiland Ulrike915400AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910139579803321Applied Urban Ecology2051918UNINA03174nam 22007215 450 991029955430332120200630053611.03-319-02988-610.1007/978-3-319-02988-7(CKB)2550000001152829(EBL)1593088(OCoLC)868975313(SSID)ssj0001049223(PQKBManifestationID)11550214(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001049223(PQKBWorkID)11017320(PQKB)10843964(MiAaPQ)EBC1593088(DE-He213)978-3-319-02988-7(PPN)176107266(EXLCZ)99255000000115282920131027d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAn Introduction to Mine Hydrogeology /by Pradipta Kumar Deb1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (58 p.)SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7244Description based upon print version of record.3-319-02987-8 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Hydrogeology -- Pumping Tests and Aquifer Parameters -- Ground Water Quality -- Mine and Mine Development Planning -- Environmental Impact Analysis on Hydrological Regime -- Mine Hydrogeology and Indian Case Studies -- Conclusion.An Introduction to Mine Hydrogeology briefly describes the subject of hydrogeology so that this knowledge can be integrated into mine development planning. It emphasizes not only the hydrochemical but also the physical impacts of the hydrogeological environment on the mine and its surroundings. Further, it discusses the methodologies used in mine hydrogeological studies, showcased by selected studies on Indian mines.SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7244HydrogeologyHydrologyGeology, EconomicEnvironmental managementHydrogeologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Economic Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17010Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Hydrogeology.Hydrology.Geology, Economic.Environmental management.Hydrogeology.Hydrology/Water Resources.Economic Geology.Environmental Management.58Deb Pradipta Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064707MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299554303321An Introduction to Mine Hydrogeology2540296UNINA02305nam 22005293 450 991015759310332120241107093756.01-62726-049-8(CKB)3710000001001644(MiAaPQ)EBC7276551(Au-PeEL)EBL7276551(BIP)056668374(OCoLC)1250076838(ODN)ODN0002929573(MiAaPQ)EBC32264926(Au-PeEL)EBL32264926(EXLCZ)99371000000100164420230802d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCatbug1st ed.Chicago Frederator Books LLC2016Chicago :Frederator Books LLC,2016.©2016.1 online resource (28 pages)Catbug.Title from eBook information screen..Embedded sound file.Cover -- Title Page -- Begin Reading -- Collect Them All! -- Why wait?
