Riassunto:

This volume&nbsp;advances the scientific understanding, development, and application of geospatial technologies related to groundwater resource management,&nbsp;mapping, monitoring, and modelling&nbsp;using&nbsp;up-to-date remote sensing and GIS techniques. The book further provides a&nbsp;critical analysis of the debates and discourses surrounding groundwater resources and society, illustrates&nbsp;the relationship between groundwater resources and precision agriculture for societal development, and describes&nbsp;novel, region-specific management strategies and techniques for sustainability with case studies.&nbsp;The book is organized into three parts: (I) Groundwater resources and societal development; (II) Groundwater availability, quality and pollution; and (III) Sustainable groundwater resources management.&nbsp;Each section begins with a short introduction that includes an overview of the papers in that section. Individual chapters focus on the core themes of research and knowledge along with some topics that have received lesser attention. The book will be of interest to&nbsp;water resource planners and decision-makers, academic researchers, policy makers, NGOs, and academic researchers and students in&nbsp;Geography, Geophysics, Hydrology, Remote Sensing & GIS, Agriculture, Soil Science, and Agronomy.<br> <br>
