  • Numerical Models in Groundwater Pollution

    by Karel Kovarik ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematical models are the effective tool to solve different tasks predicting pollutant movement. The finite difference method is the oldest, but still remains widely used in hydrogeological practice. However, this method is not very useful to construct the new transport models because it cannot approximate the shape of remediation elements exactly. Therefore the book is concerned with the FEM ...

  • Land Subsidence Analysis in Urban Areas

    The Bangkok Metropolitan Area Case Study

    by David G. Zeitoun, Eliyahu Wakshal ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Cities built on unconsolidated sediments consisting of clays, silt, peat, and sand, are particularly susceptible to subsidence. Such regions are common in delta areas, where rivers empty into the oceans, along flood plains adjacent to rivers, and in coastal marsh lands. Building cities in such areas aggravates the problem for several reasons:Construction of buildings and streets adds weight to the ... Read more

    Coastline Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropogenic Land Subsidence

    Edited by Giuseppe Gambolati ...
    Series Book 28 - Water Science and Technology Library
    The Upper Adriatic Sea basin comprises a very precarious coastal environment subject to continuous changes which prove appreciable not only over the geological scale but also in historical and modern times. According to some Authors the Venice Lagoon was formed 2000-3000 years ago, and other lagoons (e. g. the Grado Lagoon in the northernmost part of the Adriatic) are even more recent. In addition ...
