Description / Table of Contents:
The UK is a country with over 150 years of widespread exploitation of its principal aquifers for public watersupply. Increasing demands, greater awareness of environmental pressures and more exacting legislationhas heightened the need for quantitative models to predict the impacts of groundwater use. In the UKthis has culminated in a unique national, regulator-led programme for England and Wales to develop conceptualand numerical models of the principal bedrock aquifers.The outcomes of this programme will be of interest to the international hydrogeological community, particularlyas international legislation such as the European Water Framework Directive requires managementof water issues across administrative boundaries with a varied cast of stakeholders.The collection of papers provides a contrast between practitioner- and research-based approaches toassess and predict the anthropogenic impacts and environmental pressures. Many insights are providedon how the regular use of groundwater models may address the environmental challenges of the future.
