Description
Technology-Based Solutions for Sustainable Groundwater Management: Challenges, Models, and Strategies provides an in-depth exploration of the environmental and technological challenges impacting global groundwater resources. It examines the complexities of water scarcity driven by climate change, agricultural expansion, and increasing human demand. Through detailed case studies and analyses, the book illustrates the pivotal role of cutting-edge spatial technologies in mapping, monitoring, and managing groundwater. The book integrates diverse scientific disciplines, including geography, hydrology, and environmental science to offer readers a multidimensional understanding of groundwater dynamics.It showcases a range of innovative tools, from remote sensing and GIS to artificial intelligence and machine learning, highlighting their application in developing predictive models and real-time management strategies. Framed within the context of sustainable practices, these solutions aim to secure groundwater for future generations while supporting current economic and social needs. It is an indispensable resource for environmental scientists, students, and researchers, providing foundational knowledge and a guide to applying the latest technological advancements in the field.
