Synopsis

Problems associated with water resources are drawing widespread attention. Much water has become contaminated and unfit for human use, and development of water supplies have, in places, caused extensive ecological deterioration. So fundamental is water to virtually all processes concerned with life, the environment, and engineering activities in our society that its study is spread over a multitude of disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, physics; hydrology; climatology; oceanography; hydrogeology and soil science. This text discusses the properties and behaviour of water and the natural global processes related to water (the hydrologic cycle). Topics include: unusual properties of water, the hydrostatic paradox, Bernoulli's principle, and the phenomenon of "thermolift", which occurs in deep wells. Special attention is paid to the basic concepts of groundwater hydrology.
