Sand Veins Flow

The book progresses across three main sections, beginning with fundamental principles of desert hydrology and geology. It then delves into case studies from diverse desert regions, showcasing the unique characteristics and ecological significance of various subsurface stream systems. For example, many desert species have uniquely adapted to thrive on these hidden water sources.

Finally, it addresses the human dimension, examining historical and modern water management practices, as well as the challenges posed by increasing demand and climate change. Integrating scientific research with ethnographic insights, Sand Veins Flow offers a holistic understanding of these hidden water networks. It demonstrates their critical importance and advocates for sustainable management strategies, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in environmental issues and desert ecosystems.
