GIS and Geostatistical Techniques for Groundwater Science

GIS and Geostatistical Techniques for Groundwater Science provides a detailed synthesis of the application of GIS and geostatistics in groundwater studies. As the book illustrates, GIS can be a powerful tool for developing solutions for water resource problems, assessing water quality, and managing water resources. Beginning with an introduction to the history of GIS and geostatistical techniques in groundwater studies, the book then describes various spatial techniques, including case studies for various applications, from quality assessment, to resource management. This book assembles the most up-to-date techniques in GIS and geostatistics as they relate to groundwater, one of our most important natural resources.

Prof. Sang Yong Chung is a full Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, Pukyong National University in Busan City of Korea. He accomplished the Ph.D. program in Hydrogeology from the Department of Geological Sciences, University of Nevada at Reno, U.S.A. He was interested in the modeling of groundwater data such as aquifer parameters, water level and water quality using geo-statistical methods. Recently, he is studying in the field of the management and conservation of groundwater through hydrogeochemical and geo-statistical studies. He published more than 70 research articles in referred indexed journals.
