About this ebook
Arid Silence Hears explores the innovative use of acoustic remote sensing for detecting subsurface water in arid environments.
It reveals how the seemingly silent desert landscapes can be ""heard"" through sound wave analysis, offering a non-invasive method for locating crucial water resources.
The book uniquely bridges Earth Sciences, Geography, and GIS, presenting an interdisciplinary approach to addressing water scarcity.
For instance, the book details how variations in desert surfaces and subsurface structures impact sound propagation, which can reveal the presence of underground geological formations indicative of water.
