It  has become evident during the past years that highly mineralized water  is present in an interconnected fracture network of the basement.  Thus, the upper part of the crust of the continents can be viewed as  an aquifer and investigated with tools common in hydrogeology. \u003cbr\u003e  This book presents accounts on water-conducting features of  crystalline rocks and summarizes the hydraulic properties of the  basement. The volume includes reviews, new data and research on the  often remarkable chemical composition of deep groundwater. Microbial  processes in the deep basement aquifer are probably more important  than previously thought. Two contributions focus on this recent  extension of research of the biosphere to greater depth in the Earth.  \u003cbr\u003e  This book represents the first multidisciplinary and integrated  account of deep groundwater hydrology in crystalline basement. It is  of interest to hydrologists and hydrogeologists working with water in  crystalline rocks, but also to solid earth geophysicists, geochemists  and petrologists with an interest in fluids in the crust. Scientists  involved in nuclear waste disposal programs and geothermal energy  development will find a wealth of stimulating ideas in this volume.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 December 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792360827\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e278\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803391168652,"sku":"9780792360827","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792360827.jpg?v=1781751500","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792360827","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
