Book Description
The focus of this study is to establish an inventory, classify, and create a better understanding of aquifers in the Regional District of Comox-Strathcona on central Vancouver Island and part of the adjacent British Columbia mainland. The study first describes the study area and the provincial aquifer classification system. It then reviews the surficial geology of the study area, including the characteristics of the sediments & glacial deposits. This is followed by brief descriptions of all aquifers identified & classified in the area, with information on aquifer geology, size, level of development, and the rationale behind the assigned vulnerability classification. Three areas which may have aquifers are also identified and observations are made regarding the development of groundwater resources in the area. Finally, the study makes recommendations for public education about groundwater, partnerships for groundwater management, groundwater resource planning & regulation, monitoring, and further research. A glossary is appended.
Re-Presenting GIS

Pages : 296
Book Description
'Geographical information science' is not merely a technical subject but also poses theoretical questions on the nature of geographic representation and whether there exist limits on the ability of GI systems to deal with certain objects and issues. This book presents the debate surrounding technical GIS and theory of representation from an 'inside' GIS perspective. Chapters are authored by leading researchers from a range of fields including geographers, planners, ecologists and computer scientists from Europe and North America.
Managing Common Pool Groundwater Resources

Pages : 368
Book Description
Woldwide, developed and developing countries increasingly depend on groundwater resources for domestic water supply. Since groundwater is a hidden resource and individuals cannot see how much has been used and what is left, this book attempts to make global groundwater use more visible so that policy makers can make informed decisions as to its management. Organized into six geographical regions, the authors describe the various physical, cultural and institutional challenges of groundwater policy and management faced by countries worldwide. Analysis of the challenges and responses to groundwater management at the national level hopes to generate a broader understanding for societies across the globe. Each chapter provides the physical geography and demographics of the country, its water use, problems, law, politics and policy and future implications. Chapters on representative countries within North America, Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Australia and China and Africa provide a comprehensive perspective of groundwater issues internationally.
