The understanding and accurate modelling of water flow through earth and rocks is crucial for a range of applications in architecture, planning and engineering. In this book, the latest research by recognized experts is presented to bring the reader up to date in the field. In the first part, current topics in hydraulic conductivity are reviewed. The contributors present research on subjects such as new devices for measuring the water content of rocks and approaches to the detection of permeable bodies. In the second part, practical issues are to the fore, and the chapters offer case studies of situations such as surface and groundwater interaction in wetlands, Richards equation in relation to relative hydraulic conductivity, and instrumentation for measuring conductivity in both laboratory and in-situ contexts. In part three, new developments are showcased. Authors discuss topics such as the hydraulic conductivity of fractured rocks and measurement by the gamma ray transmission technique. Part four offers contemporary global views on hydrogeology. The contributors offer their expertise on topics including groundwater management by hydro-geophysical investigation and also offer an overview of conceptual models in hydrogeology. The book will appeal to both student and advanced readers.
