Groundwater Science

Groundwater Science, 2e, is a well organized, clearly written text for students, instructors and professionals in geoscience, environmental science and civil engineering. Intentionally interdisciplinary, it weaves important methods and applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology and environmental science, introducing geoscience students and professionals to the mathematical modeling and contaminant flow of groundwater. New to the 2e: -New chapter on subsurface heat flow and geothermal systems -Expanded content on well construction and design, surface water hydrology, groundwater/ surface water interaction, slug tests, pumping tests and mounding analysis -Updated discussions of groundwater modeling, calibration, parameter estimation and uncertainty -Free software tools for slug test analysis, pumping test analysis and aquifer modeling -Lists of key terms and chapter contents at the start of each chapter -Expanded end-of-chapter problems, including more conceptual questions
