Covers the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrogeology, taking an environmental slant dictated by emphasis on the remediation of contaminated aquifers and surface-water bodies. This book also emphasizes the application of theories and principles to real-world problems with a focus on environmental issues.
This best-selling text covers the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrogeology, taking an environmental slant dictated by emphasis on the remediation of contaminated aquifers and surface-water bodies. It includes hundreds of pictures, figures, and tables, a generous amount of case studies, lab exercises, and worked example problems, and a diskette containing hands-on lab exercises on computer modeling. All of these features combine to make it an excellent choice for an introductory college text. The book's emphasis on the application of theories and principles to real-world problems with a strong focus on environmental issues guarantees its continued use as a general reference on hydrology.
"Every avid handyman has one in his basement workshop. The indispensible combination tool that does just about everything from cutting sheet metal to pulling nails. This text for undergraduate courses in hydrology and hydrogeology is like that. Oversized and at 700 pages, it is a huge and comprehensive introduction. It has large, clear charts and illustrations, on this latter score particularly good ones of field operations. The price, more than reasonable, will have students rejoicing...The real genius of this all-purpose bottle opener and nail driver, however, is its organization..."- Peter Wild, Contributing Editor, U.S. Water News "This book is a very comprehensive introduction to hydrology. Designed primarily to serve as an undergraduate text, the book discusses virtually every aspect of hydrology. The book includes hundreds of pictures, figures and tables. There [is] a generous amount of case studies, lab exercises, and worked example problems. A diskette containing hands-on lab exercises on computer modeling is included. All these features combine to make this book an excellent choice for an introductory college text. In fact, the book's strongest point (stressing the application of theories and principles to real-world problems and applications with a strong focus on environmental issues) guarantees its use as a general reference on hydrology."- Keith R.
