Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
This second edition showcases groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications that transform over 20 years of satellite observations from the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions into a comprehensive 50-year hydrological dataset for Africa’s Lake Victoria Basin (LVB). This innovative approach will unlock unprecedented understanding of critical water challenges that have bedevilled the lake basin due to data scarcity. The book unravels the mysterious 2018–2019 surge in lake water levels, the disruptive floating islands affecting hydropower and livelihoods, and the complex groundwater dynamics beneath the surface. By combining cutting-edge AI with remote sensing and socio-economic analysis, this interdisciplinary study will reveal how natural climate variability and human activities jointly influence water security, flood-drought cycles, agriculture, and regional economies. It offers actionable insights for climate scientists, water resource managers, engineers, and policymakers dedicated to Africa’s sustainable development.
Praised by Professor C.K. Shum of The Ohio State University as “a transformative interdisciplinary study that redefines our understanding of Africa’s largest lake system,” this edition is essential for anyone seeking to harness technology for impactful environmental management and unlock the future of water resource management—where AI meets real-world solutions.
