Fundamentals of Ground Water provides the reader with the fundamental principles of the hydraulic cycle. Also complete with illustrations and real-life case studies, this text takes a comprehensive and realistic approach to the subject of hydrology. It also contains strong interactive computer-based programs for solving and simulating hydraulics groundwater processes.
Franklin W. Schwartz and Hubao Zhang are the authors of Fundamentals of Ground Water, published by Wiley.
