Master the latest advances in hydrogeology using this fully updated
This thoroughly revised guide clearly explains cutting-edge hydrogeology techniques that can be applied in the field. Featuring contributions from leading experts, Practical Hydrogeology: Principles and Field Applications, Third Edition, shows how to plan and conduct site investigations, avoid pitfalls in the field, interpret a wide array of data types gathered, and prepare water-quality reports. You will get complete coverage of key procedures, including aquifer testing, groundwater sampling, water-quality assessment, aquifer characterization, and tracer tests. This third edition has been reorganized and expanded with up-to-date information, a new chapter, review questions, and real-world examples.
Coverage includes:
-
Field hydrogeology
-
The geology of hydrogeology
-
Aquifer properties
-
Groundwater flow
-
Pumping tests
-
Slug testing
-
Aquifer hydraulics
-
Water chemistry sampling
-
Groundwater/surface-water interaction
-
Vadose-zone analysis
-
Karst hydrogeology and tracer tests
-
Drilling and well completion
