Inhaltsangabe

Nonpoint-source contamination is a substantialthreat to ground-water resources. Understandingground-water vulnerability (GWV) to nonpoint-sourcecontamination is necessary to implement bestmanagement practices for resource protection andremediation. However, reaching such understandingis often complicated because of the inherent spatialand temporal variability of hydrogeologic propertiesof the aquifer, land-use practices, and climatechange and variability. This book provides anoverview of approaches for improved understanding ofGWV and has specific application to the High Plains[Ogallala] aquifer. Chapters describe a synthesisof GWV modeling approaches; application ofstatistical GWV models with ground-water flowsimulations; a stochastic approach to quantify GWVmodel prediction uncertainty; and explore theeffects of natural climate variability on GWV fromthe El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), PacificDecadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic MultidecadalOscillation (AMO). This book is written forresource managers, scientists, students, and thegeneral public interested in GWV analysis and (or)the High Plains [Ogallala] aquifer.
