Fractured rocks extend over much of the world cropping out in shields massifs and the cores of major mountain ranges. They also form the basement below younger sedimentary rocks; at depth; they represent a continuous environment of extended and deep regional groundwater flow. Understanding of groundwater flow and solute transport in fractured rocks is vital for analysis of water resources water quality and environmental protection geotechnical and engineering projects and geothermal energy production. Book chapters include theoretical and practical analyses using numerical modelling geochemistry isotopes aquifer tests laboratory tests field mapping geophysics geological analyses and some unique combinations of these types of investigation. Current water resource and geotechnical problems in many countriesâand the techniques now used to address themâare also discussed. The importance of geological interpretation is re-emphasised in analysing the hydrogeology of fractured mostly crystalline rocks and in how critical this is for understanding their hydrology and the wise utilisation of resources. This is indeed hydrogeology in its broadest sense. The importance of but great difficulty in extending or upscaling fractured rock hydraulic properties is also made clear. This book is aimed at practicing hydrogeologists engineers ecologists resource managers and perhaps most importantly students and earth scientists not yet familiar with the ubiquity and importance of fractured rock systems. | Fractured Rock Hydrogeology

Sellers offer a range of delivery options, so you can choose the one thatâs most convenient for you. Many sellers offer free delivery. You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a sellerâs listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
