Introducing Hydrogeology by Nicholas Robins

A concise introduction to hydrogeology, the branch of earth science that deals with the chemical, physical, and biological interactions between rock, soil, water, nature and society. Copiously illustrated in colour and drawing on international examples, it is an ideal starting text for students and those whose work raises issues of groundwater.

'Introducing Hydrogeology is clearly written, easy to follow and provides a range of useful examples from all over the worldThe content is invaluable for those curious about furthering their academic studies or for the recent hydrogeology graduate looking to put what they have learned into context. It would even make good reading for the more experienced hydrogeologist searching for a newfound inspiration.' Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
'

A handy glossary makes Introducing Hydrogeology thoroughly accessible to readers of all backgrounds. Full- color photographs or diagrams on almost every page enrich this thoughtful, scientific discussion of interactions between sediment and water, including aquifer properties and groundwater flow, groundwater pollution or protection, the challenges of coastal aquifers and small islands, problems related to floods or droughts, and more. Introducing Hydrogeology is a "must-read" for not only for prospective professionals in the field, but also for policymakers involved in any issue related to groundwater! Highly recommended.'
