Biographie de l'auteur

Savely Polevoy (S.L. Polevoy) began his career as a hydrogeologist for Geological Survey of the former USSR in 1956. He received his doctorate in 1970. His extensive professional experience includes participation in numerous exploratory and estimation projects aimed at agricultural and drinking water supplies in the arid regions of Central Kazakhstan and the Northern Caucasus. In 1964, S.L. Polevoy began working for the North-Caucasian Research Institute of Natural Gas in the city of Stavropol, where he conducted research related to the utilization of geothermal energy. From 1971 to 1980, Dr. S.L. Polevoy conducted broad research involving evaluating resources of groundwater and their protection from pollution and depletion in Northern Caucasus (Russia) and Transcaucasus (Georgia). Since 1980, S.L. Polevoy has lived in the United States. Presently, he is working for the New York City Bureau.of Water and Sewer Operations as Supervisor of Revision Unit. Dr. S .L. Polevoy earned inclusion in Marquis Whos Who in Science and Engineering 1998-1999. S.L. Polevoy is author and co-author of more than 50 published works and reports, all relating to his specialty. In the United States, he had written a monograph on geothermal energy, published in 1985. The book Water Science and Engineering, written and illustrated by S.L. Polevoy, was published in the UK in 1996.
