Features: This book introduces the current status and technical methods of applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies in the field of groundwater. The main contents include the spatial database and model base technology of groundwater GIS; the acquisition, processing, and spatial analysis of groundwater dynamic data based on RS and GIS technologies; technical methods for groundwater application modeling, resource and environmental assessment, and cartographic expression. This book can be used as a teaching text for undergraduate and graduate students in geography, groundwater science and engineering, resource and environmental disciplines, or related fields. It is also a reference for GIS application and development personnel, as well as for scientists, engineers, and managers working in resource and environmental management, urban planning, regional management, and related areas. Based on the research findings of the Capital Underground Water Resource and Environment Survey and Assessment Project, specifically the Capital Underground Water Resource Spatial Analysis System, this book comprehensively and systematically discusses the main contents and related technologies involved in the design and development of groundwater spatial systems.
