Groundwater Science

Groundwater Science, Third Edition covers physical and chemical aspects of groundwater science, with emphasis on applications role in the hydrologic cycle and in water supply, contamination, mining, and construction issues. This interdisciplinary text weaves important methods and applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology, and environmental science, introducing you to the mathematical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The previous edition won a Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association. This fully updated edition includes all new case studies, expanded ancillary materials (including software) and expanded problems. It is a valuable resource for students and instructors in the geosciences, environmental sciences, and civil engineers with focuses in hydrology, hydrogeology, and environmental science. Offers discussions of groundwater modeling, calibration, parameter estimation, and uncertainty Includes content on well construction and design, surface water hydrology, groundwater/ surface water interaction, slug tests, pumping tests, and mounding analysis Provides free software tools for slug test analysis, pumping test analysis, heat flow analysis, groundwater flow modeling and solute transport modelling-fully updated and expanded in the new edition Includes lists of key terms and chapter contents at the start of each chapter, as well as end-of-chapter problems, including conceptual questions and all-new concepts for labs in the new edition Includes additional government reports as case studies with exercises and labs built around them, as well as more case studies highlighting examples of conjunctive water use issues
