This book explains soil-water interaction, acid mine drainage (AMD) problems and contamination levels in water and soil resources. Main topics include soil-water interaction, mining impact on water and soil geochemistry, mining impact on water and soil quality, AMD, OB martials impact, groundwater level depletion, and so forth.
The subject matter of this book is divided into two sections detailing Soil (focussing on geochemistry, contamination, and remediation) and Water (focussing on hydrogeochemistry, crisis, desertification, and modelling) including case studies, review studies, and essential soil remediation and water. It also explores management practices to explain soil?water interaction, acid mine drainage problems, and contamination levels in water and soil resources. The main topics discussed include soil?water interaction, mining impact on water and soil geochemistry, mining impact on water and soil quality, martials impact, groundwater level depletion, contamination evaluation, health risk assessment, water treatment, soil remediation, remote sensing and GIS, contaminant transport modelling, and water/soil resources management. Emphasis is also given to the new approach to sustainable water and soil resources management.
Features:
- Integrates research in soil and environmental resources management in mining.
- Describes soil resources management in mining regions.
- Covers water geochemistry and contaminant transport modelling.
- Provides solutions for acid mine drainage problems.
- Includes the role of remote sensing and GIS.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in soil resources management, mining, and environment science.
