This text provides a process-oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx.

This text investigates the basic principles of key deterministic methods in the systems approach to problems in the field of hydrology.

Addressing the techno-socio-economic challenges involved in the protection, conservation, recycling and equitable utilization of water as an economic good, this text explores the linkages and dynamics of interactions involving water.

This monograph provides an overview of the principles necessary to provide a service orientation in the management of irrigation and drainage systems.

A compendium of terms, concepts, issues and methods involved in tunnel and chamber excavations and in lake-tap blasting, considering all aspects of the process from a conceptual to a practical involvement.

Providing an all-encompassing study into the field of design methodology in rock engineering, this book appraises current trends, explores engineering design in depth, presents a design methodology and demonstrates its practical use.

The major properties of rock joints and methods of laboratory testing, as well as sheer strength assessment under various loading conditions are discussed in this volume. A new sheer strength model developed by the authors is also highlighted.

The framework and guidelines were developed to help specialist teams of the Inter-American Development Bank incorporate considerations of capacity building into water related projects.

Covers the design of rockbolts, dowels, cable bolts and shortcrete for underground excavations in hard rock. Many examples are given. Topics covered include rock mass classification systems and shear strength of discontinuation.

This book presents current approaches in certain areas of geotechnical engineering, state-of-the-art reports highlighting the open issues and a review of design practices, suggesting changes based on experience and recently-acquired knowledge.

A study on the Bellingwe Greenstone Belt, presenting the stratigraphy of the belt, its structure and tectonic setting, the sedimentology of what may be a rift basin, the geochemistry of the freshest Archaean komatiites yet found.

This book is a comprehensive review of the genera of Rubiaceae, a flowering plant family of mostly trees and shrubs, found in tropical East Africa. It presents information on their character, occurrence, habitat, phenotypic variations and distribution of the species under these genera.

These proceedings deal with a variety of topics relating to flow-induced vibration and noise, such as, vortex-induced vibration and noise, vibration of heat-exchanger tube bundles and vibration of hydraulic structures.

The 25 papers collected together in this volume present coverage of all major aspects of landslide risk assessment, including the risk assessment framework, and methods for estimating probability of landsliding vulnerability.

This is a field manual to aid in the analysis of sedimentary successions. It looks at topics such as: sandstone; trace fossils; limestones; and tectonic signatures in the basin fill.

Selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Fluvial Hydraulics held in Napoli in 2004, covering a range of issues related to the subject from physical and geographical processes to hazard identification and fluvial management.

A manual on the development and reconstruction of coastal fishing areas. Coverage ranges from design conditions, through use of tidal currents for sea water flow, to improvement of water quality and breeding facilities.

Papers from the Fifth International PhD Symposium in Civil Engineering held in Delft 2004, featuring research projects from PhD candidates from twenty-eight countries on current ongoing research in Civil Engineering.

With the increasing awareness of environmental problems, there is a growing desire for a de¬tailed understanding of superficial deposits in general, and glacial deposits in particular
