Title:

Isotope techniques in water resource investigations in arid and semi-arid regions

Publication Year:
2001
Abstract:

The scarcity of water resources is becoming one of the major impediments to social and economic development and is most acute in arid and semi-arid regions, which cover almost one third of the Earth's land surface. Rapidly growing population as well as unfavourable climatic events and recurrent droughts emphasize the ever growing need for effective, well managed and sustainable use of water resources for human, agricultural and industrial purposes.
