Hydrological and Biological Responses to Forest Practices : The Alsea Watershed Study
Through analyses of works generated by the study, Hydrological and Biological Responses to Forest Practices: The Alsea Watershed Study addresses the quantification of forest resource sustainability and bolsters the case for long-term monitoring at a time when managers and policy makers are searching for ways to restore the runs of salmon and steelhead to rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest. Edited by John D. Stednick, a forest hydrologist responsible for the study’s reactivation, this book will be of interest to students in natural resources, land managers, policy makers, and researchers, particularly in water and fishery resources.
Hydrogeophysics
This ground-breaking work is the first to cover the fundamentals of hydrogeophysics from both the hydrogeological and geophysical perspectives. A series of hydrogeophysical case studies illustrate hydrogeophysical approaches for mapping hydrological units, estimation of hydrogeological parameters, and monitoring of hydrogeological processes.
Home Long-Term Oxygen Treatment in Italy : The Additional Value of Telemedicine
This book, edited by Roberto W. Dal Negro and Allen I. Goldberg, gives us a full account of the impact of the telemedicine system on H-LTOT. According to the information in this book, we have to begin to think about the possibility of using telemonitoring in H-LTOT in a really general manner. In fact, telemonitoring allows better control of the compliance of patients suffering from respiratory failure, and this means a better clinical condition and longer survival, both linked to the long-term administration of oxygen. Moreover, it also permits a reduction in expenditure for the management of patients under LTOT.
High resolution numerical modelling of the atmosphere and ocean

Groundwater overexploitation in the North China Plain : A path to sustainability
Over-pumping of aquifers is a worldwide problem, mainly caused by agricultural water use. Among its consequences are the falling dry of streams and wetlands, soil subsidence, die-off of phreatophytic vegetation, saline water intrusion, increased pumping cost and loss of storage needed for drought relief.
Groundwater Dynamics in Hard Rock Aquifers : Sustainable Management and Optimal Monitoring Network Design
Groundwater is of utmost importance in the arid and semi-arid environment. The areas in such regions are forced to face a variety of problems regarding groundwater as it is the main source of water no matter for any use viz., drinking, domestic, irrigation or industrial particularly for the rural population. The main challenges in hard rock areas in the semi-arid region are the water conservation, management and planning of the water resources. This is further complicated with several complexities of the geological formation. With the semi-arid environment, complex geological settings and over shooting stresses, the aquifer system becomes extremely fragile and sensitive. In spite of a good amount of research in this field, it is still needed to understand the behaviour of such complex system precisely and also apply the result in reasonably larger scales.
