The Hyporheic Handbook: A handbook on the groundwater–surface water interface and hyporheic zone for environment managers

This comprehensive 12-chapter book, written by leading international experts on surface water and groundwater processes and interactions, critically reviews the state-of-the-art global understanding of several key areas of the Hyporheic Zone (the groundwater–surface water interface, especially near rivers). Each chapter deals with a specific theme, including water flow rates and exchanges, and fluvial, sedimentological, hydrological, geomorphological, hydrochemical, biogeochemical and biological processes – and the web of complex relationships which connect these processes. It is lavishly illustrated and referenced, and concludes with suggested key areas where future research is needed internationally, i.e. key research and management gaps for the future.
