The number of groundwater investigations throughout the world continues to increase. The important aim of this book is to primary focus on issues related to our country¿s growth, needs of freshwater requirement and also to foster a strong cooperation among industry, academic institutions and research institutes. We earnestly believe that the book will benefit all the academicians, industry peoples and researchers in the field of hydro-geochemistry, water quality and water resources management.
