Summary

Coupling of the basics of hygrogeology with analytical and numerical modeling methods, this book addresses and solves a variety of questions and problems. It includes various aspects of quantitative groundwater evaluation and contaminant fate and transport analysis, ranging from basic laboratory determination to complex analytical calculations.

Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling Summary

Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling by Neven Kresic (AMEC, Kennesaw, Georgia, USA)

Coupling the basics of hygrogeology with analytical and numerical modeling methods, Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling, Second Edition provides detailed coverage of both theory and practice. Written by a leading hydrogeologist who has consulted for industry and environmental agencies and taught at major universities around the world, this unique book fills a gap in the groundwater hydrogeology literature.

With more than 40 real-world examples, the book is a source for clear, easy-to-understand, and step-by-step quantitative groundwater evaluation and contaminant fate and transport analysis, from basic laboratory determination to complex analytical calculations and computer modeling. It provides more than 400 drawings, graphs, and photographs, and a variety of useful tables of all key groundwater parameters, as well as lucid, straightforward answers to common hydrogeological problems.

Reflecting nearly ten years of new scholarship since the publication of the bestselling first edition, this second edition is wider in focus with added and updated examples, figures, and problems, yet still provides information in the author's trademark, user-friendly style. No other book offers such carefully selected examples and clear, elegantly explained solutions. The inclusion of step-by-step solutions to real problems builds a knowledge base for understanding and solving groundwater issues.

Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling Reviews

"The book couples the basics of hydrogeology with analytical and numerical modeling methods and provides detailed coverage of both theory and practice. It is a source for clear, easy-to-understand, and step-by-step quantitative groundwater evaluation and contaminant fate and transport analysis, from basic laboratory determination to complex analytical calculations and computer modeling."

In Environmental Geology, October 2007, Vol. 52, No. 7

"This is an excellent and comprehensive text . . . While extensive use of examples is a very useful feature of this book, the case studies in these sections are particularly valuable because that is the source of much consultancy work. Clearly, this reader found the book extremely interesting and consider it is well worth a placement on the bookshelf of the practicing hydrogeologist and groundwater specialist."

Diane Wiesner, Principal Scientist, AWA, June 2007
