Description
Groundwater Hydrology is a classic textbook that provides a unified presentation of groundwater hydrology, treating fundamental principles, methods, and problems encountered in the field as a whole. Continuing its forty-year history of providing students and professionals with a thorough grounding in the science and technology of groundwater hydrology, the book explores the many new developments that have occurred in the groundwater field in recent years, concerns and competition for water supplies, contamination of groundwater, and enhanced regulation of water resources. The book also focuses on modern groundwater modeling tools, including a detailed description of MODFLOW.
