Groundwater in fractured bedrock environments : managing catchment and subsurface resources / edited by U. Ofterdinger, A.M. MacDonald, J.-C. Comte, M.E. Young.

Fractured bedrock aquifers have traditionally been regarded as low-productivity aquifers, with only limited relevance to regional groundwater resources. It is now being increasingly recognised that these complex bedrock aquifers can play an important role in catchment management and subsurface energ...
