This book will be of interest to just about anyone, who searches for, develops, or attempts the governance, or management of groundwater. Each volume could easily, stand on its own to serve as a course text exclusively servicing or supplementing a graduate level course in Environmental Economics, Environmental Water Transactions, Groundwater Engineering, or The Business of Water.
