{"product_id":"canadas-groundwater-resources-rivera-alfonso-9781554552924","title":"Canada's Groundwater Resources","description":"Most fresh water -- other than glaciers -- is found underground. All of the water in the lakes and rivers of the world accounts for a fraction of the world's available freshwater resources. Less than 1% comes from surface water while 99 percent comes from the groundwater found in aquifers. \u003cp\u003eNevertheless, a fundamental question remains in our water-rich country: how much fresh water do we actually have? Groundwater is a strategic resource, currently supplying clean, abundant and relatively cheap freshwater to more than 10 million Canadians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book represents the first comprehensive, synthesized single volume assessment of groundwater resources in Canada. Walkerton, water crisis, climate change, land use, drought, water energy, water bulk transfers, urbanization, transboundary aquifers -- all of these are keywords and issues affecting Canadians today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book represents the work of 45 noted Canadian ground water scientists. It provides a science-based overview and a collective understanding of Canada's groundwater resources in order to support their sustainable use and protection. The narrative discusses in detail each Canadian ground water region within its geographic region, and analyzes the state of groundwater use today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprehensively illustrated with maps and charts, \u003ci\u003eCanada's Groundwater Resources\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource of any person concerned about today's most critical issue -WATER.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rivera Alfonso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554552923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554552924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzhenry \u0026amp; Whiteside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 8.57w x 1.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 290","brand":"Rivera Alfonso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440866013439,"sku":"9781554552924","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8cea338-c141-486c-837e-8f85f656d4e6.jpg?v=1777187189","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canadas-groundwater-resources-rivera-alfonso-9781554552924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
