"Parmi toutes les ressources naturelles sur lesquelles reposent les activités humaines, l’eau se distingue par le fait qu’elle est vitale, et sans substitut. Ces spécificités fondent le droit à l’eau, reconnu depuis peu comme un droit humain fondamental. Mais l’eau est également rare, et soumise à des pressions croissantes du fait de l’expansion démographique et économique mondiale, de sorte que l’accès à l’eau est de plus en plus un défi quotidien pour une grande partie de la population mondiale, principalement dans les pays pauvres. Au-delà, ce sont les équilibres entre écosystèmes et activités humaines qui sont menacés par la détérioration des ressources en eau, en quantité comme en qualité. À n’en pas douter, l’accès à l’eau fait partie des grands enjeux du développement durable pour les décennies à venir, aux côtés de la lutte contre le changement climatique et de la protection de la biodiversité. À mesure que l’observateur explore les conditions dans lesquelles ce défi peut être relevé, il découvre à quel point les problèmes et leurs solutions éventuelles se comprennent à un échelon local, tant la question de l’accès à l’eau en un point de la planète est différente, et relativement indépendante, de ce qu’elle peut être ailleurs. La question de l’eau est bien la plus complexe des problématiques du développement durable. Il en résulte que l’analyse de cette question mobilise un très large éventail de disciplines, et débouche sur une littérature gigantesque, que personne ne peut couvrir. Le champ de connaissances est tellement vaste qu’il devient difficile d’en avoir une perspective panoramique. De fait, il n’existe pas d’ouvrage présentant de manière claire et synthétique l’ensemble des enjeux de l’accès à l’eau et de sa gestion au 21e siècle. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de combler cette lacune, en tenant compte de ce que les différentes disciplines concernées ont à dire sur le problème de l’accès à l’eau dans ses diverses dimensions."

In many parts of the world, groundwater resources are under increasing threat from growing demands, wasteful use, and contamination. To face the challenge, good planning and management practices are needed. A key to the management of groundwater is the ability to model the movement of fluids and contaminants in the subsurface. The purpose of this book is to construct conceptual and mathematical models that can provide the information required for making decisions associated with the management of groundwater resources, and the remediation of contaminated aquifers. The basic approach of this book is to accurately describe the underlying physics of groundwater flow and solute transport in heterogeneous porous media, starting at the microscopic level, and to rigorously derive their mathematical representation at the macroscopic levels. The well-posed, macroscopic mathematical models are formulated for saturated, single phase flow, as well as for unsaturated and multiphase flow, and for the transport of single and multiple chemical species. Numerical models are presented and computer codes are reviewed, as tools for solving the models. The problem of seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers is examined and modeled. The issues of uncertainty in model input data and output are addressed. The book concludes with a chapter on the management of groundwater resources. Although one of the main objectives of this book is to construct mathematical models, the amount of mathematics required is kept minimal. - Most comprehensive book on mathematical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport - Deep insight into the physics at the microscopic level and its description as averaged processes - Addresses uncertainty and management issues - Written by one of the most highly cited authors of groundwater books (Dynamics of Fluids in Porous Media, and Hydraulics of Groundwater) Audience: Graduate and upper level undergraduate students who are interested in such topics as groundwater, water resources and environmental engineering; of interest to researchers, to scientists, and to professionals who face the need to build and solve models of flow and contaminant transport in the subsurface.
