Synopsis

'Hidden Rivers' offers a fascinating exploration of Earth's subterranean waterways, revealing how these concealed channels shape our planet's geology, ecology, and human development. From sprawling urban aquifers to ancient desert paleochannels, the book uncovers the crucial role these underground systems play in our global water cycle and modern civilization.

 
Through a blend of scientific research and engaging narrative, readers discover how these hidden waterways, some extending hundreds of kilometers, continue to influence everything from city infrastructure to regional climate patterns. The book skillfully progresses from fundamental concepts of groundwater movement and karst formation to in-depth case studies of major underground river systems worldwide.

 
Using advanced research methods like ground-penetrating radar and isotope tracking, it presents compelling evidence of how these hidden waters shape our world. Particularly intriguing are the revelations about ancient rivers beneath the Sahara Desert and the complex network of waterways flowing beneath major cities like Paris, London, and New York, where they constantly interact with modern infrastructure.

 
This comprehensive work bridges the gap between technical hydrogeology and practical application, making it invaluable for both professionals and curious readers. The author's approach balances academic rigor with accessibility, weaving historical discoveries with current scientific findings to demonstrate how understanding these hidden rivers is crucial for addressing contemporary challenges in water security, urban development, and environmental conservation.

 
Through carefully structured chapters, readers gain a thorough understanding of these vital but often overlooked natural systems and their significance for our planet's future.

    Metal detecting involves using a metal detector, an electronic device designed to find metal objects nearby. These devices vary in form, from handheld wands to large industrial machines. The main components of a metal detector include the control box, which houses the electronic circuitry, controls, and batteries; the search coil, also known as the antenna, which senses metal objects; the shaft, which connects the search coil to the control box and is often adjustable for comfort; and sometimes a stabilizer to keep the unit steady during use. 
      
    The search coil generates an electromagnetic field, and when this field encounters a metal object, it creates a disturbance. The control box processes this disturbance and sends a signal to the user, typically an audible beep or a visual display. Metal detecting is used for various purposes, including treasure hunting, where individuals search for coins, jewelry, relics, and other valuable items lost or buried; archaeology, to locate historical artifacts at dig sites; security, for scanning individuals or luggage for concealed weapons or contraband; and construction, to detect metal pipes or rebar in walls, floors, or underground. It is also a popular hobby for enthusiasts who explore parks, beaches, and other areas for interesting finds.
