HOW RIVERS WORK – THE ROLE OF GROUNDWATER
The UK Groundwater Forum video and DVD
(Posted 28 May 2008)
This video, produced by the UK Groundwater Forum in 2000, helps explain the important role that groundwater plays in the environment. The video shows the contribution groundwater makes to the flow in Britain’s rivers and in doing so provides some basic information on groundwater, subsurface dynamics and the hydrological cycle as a whole. It is now also available as a DVD.
