This book reviews groundwater quality and its major global contaminants, and collects the latest advances in the analysis, remediation, risk assessment, and hydrogeochemistry of groundwater in countries such as Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the USA. This book mainly focuses on the major arid and semi-arid areas where groundwater is scarce and highly polluted with geogenic and anthropogenic contaminants and the recharge to the groundwater is negligible due to limited rainfall.

Divided into 2 parts, the book starts by covering topics like assessment and protection of groundwater in arid and semi-arid regions, groundwater pollution, and contamination risk assessment. Particular attention is given to the application of environmental isotopes in groundwater studies and how anthropogenic activities impact groundwater quality, the impact of irrigation reservoirs in groundwater and soil quality, and how artificial intelligence is applied to forecast groundwater quality. In the second part of this book, readers will find more about the major global contaminants of groundwater in arid and semi-arid areas, including a geochemical analysis of fluoride and nitrate contamination

Supported by regional case studies, this book appeals to researchers, scholars, and professionals working in the field of groundwater contamination and remediation and is also an important account for policymakers.

Shakir Ali is a hydrogeologist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. His research focuses on groundwater contamination, fluoride pollution, environmental isotopes, groundwater modelling, and traditional indigenous knowledge. He has published over 35 peer-reviewed articles and edited several books, including Groundwater Quality and Geochemistry in Arid and Semi-Arid Regions, part of Springer's book series The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry. Dr. Shakir holds a Master's degree in Hydrogeology from IIT Bombay and a Ph.D. from the University of Delhi. With more than a decade of research and teaching experience, he has received over 1,350 citations on Google Scholar to date. Abdelazim Negm is a renowned expert in hydraulics and water resources at Zagazig University, Egypt, with a Ph.D. in 1992. He has published 400+ research papers, edited several books with Springer, including Groundwater Quality and Geochemistry in Arid and Semi-Arid Regions, published in the Springer book series "The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry". Dr. Negm has led international projects, delivered keynote talks at global conferences, and served as editor for major journals. He is listed in Marquis Who's Who and recognized by ABI and IBC for his contributions to water resources management and environmental engineering.
