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.

MoreLong description:
Chalk is the most important source of fresh water in North-West Europe: more than eight million cubic metres of water are pumped daily from the aquifier. This work presents an authoritative survey of the origin, sedimentology, and hydraulic properties of this unique rock, and the chemical characteristics of the water it contains. The factors influencing the flow through the chalk and its role as a hydrocarbon reservoir in the North Sea are reviewed along with the threats that industrial chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides present to the supply. The long-term implications of pollutants in this vital resource and the continuing ignorance of the factors that control the flow of water through the rock are highlighted.
Review from previous edition 'The book is well written throughout and has a generally consistent style - which is a credit to the diligence of its editors. A comprehensive reference list always adds much to the academic worth of a publication for use by future workers. In this case it also bears silent testimony to the large number of workers whose contribution to the knowledge of Chalk hydrogeolgoy is demonstrated by the large number of papers they have produced over the past thirty years.'
