Fuzzy Surfaces in GIS and Geographical Analysis: Theory, Analytical Methods, Algorithms and Applications
Surfaces are a central to geographical analysis. Their generation and manipulation are a key component of geographical information systems (GISs). However, geographical surface data is often not precise. When surfaces are used to model geographical entities, the data inherently contains uncertainty in terms of both position and attribute. Fuzzy Surface in GIS and Geographical Analysis sets out a process to identify the uncertainty in geographic ...

Advances in Spatio-Temporal Analysis
Developments in geographic information technology have raised the expectations of users. A static map is no longer enough, there is now demand for a dynamic representation. Time is of great importance when operating on real-world geographical phenomena, especially when these are dynamic. Researchers in the field of temporal geographical information systems (TGIS) have been developing methods of incorporating time into geographical information ...

Transport of Escherichia Coli in Saturated Porous Media
When wastewater infiltrates into the soil, groundwater may be contaminated. If the distance from source of pollution to point of groundwater abstraction is small, there is a real chance of abstracting pathogenic microorganisms. This book studies the transport of Escherichia coli in aquifers under saturated conditions. The author uses the well known colloid filtration theory as a starting point. He then includes physical sieving, geochemical ...

The Water Encyclopedia, Third Edition: Hydrologic Data and Internet Resources
“Just do an Internet search.” “It’s on the Internet” These phrases have quickly become a part of the vernacular. The quintessential book of data relating to water, The Water Encyclopedia: Hydrologic Data and Internet Resources, Third Edition arose from the premise that most of the information provided within this publication could be easily found on the Internet. As the editors and their team of contributors soon discovered, using the Internet ...
