Documents the declining quality and quantity of springs around the world and efforts to preserve, protect, and restore them.

Anthropogenic causes, including climate change, have been degrading springs around the world. Changes in spring water quality and flow impact human health, cultural values, ecology, and livelihoods.

Threats to Springs in a Changing World: Science and Policies for Protection presents a range of international studies illustrating the causes of spring degradation and strategies being used to safeguard springs both now and for the future.

Volume highlights include:

  • Examples of threatened springs in diverse hydrogeologic settings
  • Innovative methods and tools for understanding the hydrogeology of spring systems
  • Current policy and governance approaches for alleviating damage to springs
  • Different approaches to management of springs
  • A call for practitioners, policy makers, scientists, and the public to work together
