Stochastic hydrogeology, which emerged as a research area in the late 1970s, involves the study of subsurface, geological variability on flow and transport processes and the interpretation of observations using existing theories. Lacking, however, has been a rational framework for modelling the impact of the processes that take place in heterogeneous media and for incorporating it in predictions and decision-making. Applied Stochastic Hydrogeology seeks to provide this. It covers the fundamental and practical aspects of stochastic hydrogeology, coupling theoretical aspects with examples, case studies, and guidelines for applications.
"Practitioners, researchers, professors, and graduate students in hydrogeology and engineering will find that this book is intuitive, valuable, and applicable [...] Applied Stochastic Hydrogeology is unique and the most comprehensive reference book on this subject. It covers the fundamental and practical aspects of geostatistics and stochastic hydrogeology with many examples, case studies, and guidelines for applications."
