About this book
Written by experts from academia, government agencies, laboratories, and consulting firms around the globe, this outstanding resource explores the subject of groundwater from an engineering perspective, comprehensively addressing the range of subjects related to subsurface hydrology. It provides a practical treatment of the flow of groundwater, the transport of substances, the construction of wells and well fields, the production of groundwater, and site characterization and remediation of groundwater pollution. The book emphasizes the presentation of results rather than derivations and provides results for and examples of real-world situations.
