With contributions by Dutch experts in water defence research, this book opens with an overview of strategy and methodology on sea defences. Technical information on specific aspects like integral design, management and safety, are also included.
Examines the physical processes involved in the interaction between air or liquid flow and the solid boundaries of its movement, showing how the properties of each material affect the dynamics between them.
Summarizing tracing techniques in geohydrology, this book contains chapters written by specialists in the fields of geology, hydrology, chemistry, virology, engineering and isotopes. The accompanying CD aids the analysis of tracing test data.

Aimed at students interested in natural resources and environmental science, this illustrated book explains fundamental hydrologic principles and favoured methods of analysis, and includes exercises and examples to develop problem-solving skills.
This volume is taken from an ecological study of wetlands undertaken in northern Lake Victoria (East Africa) between 1993 and 1996 with the major aim of characterizing shallow vegetation-dominated interface habitats, and evaluating their importanc...
Observational and numerical modelling studies of the hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and light extinction were undertaken in the marine environment around Cape Bolinao in the Lingayen Gulf (NW Philippines). This text reports on the results of t...
Soils formed or now existing under arid climatic conditions cover more than one-third of the world's land surface. Many have unique characteristics which can pose difficult geotechnical problems. This text considers these problems and suggests way...
Covers strata mechanics, numerical methods in geomechanics, water jet cutting and mechanical disintegration of rocks. The preface discusses the option of describing typical interdisciplinarity of geosciences, dealing with the processes induced by ...
