Invitation to contribute a book chapter in a Springer Nature book titled “Revitalizing the Delta Aquifer: Sustainable Recharge Strategies for River Deltas”

Dear Respected Professor:

We are pleased to invite you to contribute a book chapter to our forthcoming volume titled “Revitalizing the Delta Aquifer: Sustainable Recharge Strategies for River Deltas”, to be published by Springer Nature as part of the Deltas of the World series.

We would be grateful for your positive response and kindly ask you to select a suitable chapter topic from the enclosed list within one week.

By the end of August 2026, we would appreciate your confirmation of participation by submitting a brief tentative abstract (approximately 250 words), along with the authors’ names, affiliations, and the contact details of the corresponding author.

Please note that there is no publication fee. Contributors will receive a PDF copy of the book and a 40% discount on Springer publications.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please send to me by this email: parimala.r...@vit.ac.in

Title: Revitalizing the Delta Aquifer:

Subtitle: Sustainable Recharge Strategies for River Deltas

Book Description

The book includes a comprehensive analysis of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) in river deltas. It discusses the growing water crisis in various river Deltas The book examines how groundwater over‑extraction and sea‑level rise cause salinity intrusion. It presents the hydrogeological framework of deltaic aquifers and their storage potential. The book explores seasonal monsoon recharge patterns and their variability. It identifies suitable zones for MAR using remote sensing and GIS techniques.

The book describes various MAR methods, including surface spreading, injection wells, and percolation ponds. It discusses the design of aquifer storage and recovery systems in saline coastal areas. It analyzes the challenges of arsenic contamination various deltas. The book provides economic cost‑benefit models for MAR adoption in agriculture. It evaluates the policy gaps and institutional barriers to MAR implementation.

The book proposes a governance framework that integrates MAR into delta water management plans. It emphasizes the role of community participation and stakeholder engagement. The book outlines a scalable roadmap for expanding MAR across all major river deltas. It discusses the synergies between MAR and floodplain restoration for climate resilience. The book addresses the technical standards and monitoring requirements for MAR projects. It presents recommendations for funding mechanisms and public‑private partnerships.

The book includes an assessment of water quality constraints for recharge, including arsenic, fluoride, and nitrate. It discusses the role of artificial recharge in mitigating land subsidence in delta regions. The book explores innovative financing models for community‑led MAR structures. It presents a comparative analysis of surface spreading versus injection wells under different hydrogeological settings. The book addresses the challenges of clogging and maintenance in deltaic MAR systems. It highlights the importance of monitoring networks and performance indicators. The book includes a on legal frameworks for groundwater rights and managed recharge.

The book benefits water resource managers, hydrogeologists, and civil engineers working in coastal deltas. It also benefits policy makers, environmental planners, and agricultural extension officers. The book serves academic researchers and students in groundwater hydrology, climate adaptation, and delta sustainability.
