Thermal Use of Shallow Groundwater

The thermal use of the shallow subsurface poses questions concerning the design and management of underground and groundwater heat extraction systems, such as the sharing of the thermal resource and the assessment of its long-term potential. The book presents a complete overview of analytical and numerical subsurface heat transport modeling, providing a series of mathematical tools and simulation models together with MATLAB® computer codes for assess the impacts on underground and groundwater temperatures. It is illustrated with case studies.
