Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systemsby George F. Pinder
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 130.00Cutting-edge techniques for groundwater modeling using GIS technology Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these models and analyses more accurate than ever before. GIS technology allows for swift organization, quantification, and interpretation of large quantities of geohydrological data with computer accuracy and minimal risk of human error. This book's companion Web site provides the Princeton Transport Code, as well as the plug-in extensions required to interface this code with the Argus ONE numerical environment software enclosed with this book. Plug-in extensions for MODFLOW and MT3D computer codes... more...
Global Water Dynamicsby Emanuel Mazor
Marcel Dekker Inc 2004; US$ 179.95Utilizing observation-based research approaches to study the dynamic behaviour of global water systems and the underlying variables affecting global water balance and supply, this reference specifically focuses on the study, characteristics, and management of fossil groundwaters. more...
Groundwater Hydrologyby K. R. Rushton
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 169.95Groundwater is a vital source of water throughout the world. As the number of groundwater investigations increase, it is important to understand how to develop comprehensive quantified conceptual models and appreciate the basis of analytical solutions or numerical methods of modelling groundwater flow. Groundwater Hydrology: Conceptual and Computational Models describes advances in both conceptual and numerical modelling. It gives insights into the interpretation of field information, the development of conceptual models, the use of computational models based on analytical and numerical techniques, the assessment of the adequacy of models, and the use of computational models for predictive purposes. It focuses on the study of groundwater flow... more...
Hydrogeologyby Kevin Hiscock
Blackwell Publishing Ltd. 2009; US$ 109.95Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of hydrogeology and the significance of groundwater in the terrestrial aquatic environment. Earlier chapters explain the fundamental physical and chemical principles of hydrogeology, and later chapters feature groundwater investigation techniques and contaminant hydrogeology. A unique feature of the book is a chapter on the application of environmental isotopes and noble gases in the interpretation of aquifer evolution. The last chapter discusses groundwater resources and environmental management, and examines the role of groundwater in integrated river basin management, including the possible impacts of climate change. Throughout the text, boxes are... more...
Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifersby Vedat Batu
CRC Press 2005; US$ 189.95As the importance of aquifer problems steadily increases, practicing professionals face numerous difficulties in approaching and solving these problems. Based on Dr. Batu's 20 years of practical experience dealing with aquifer problems in a myriad of settings, Solute Transport in Aquifers compiles the scattered literature on the topic into a single-source reference of the most up-to-date information in the field. Comprehensive and self-contained, the book addresses essentially all of the currently applied contaminant transport solutions, combines theory with practical applications, and covers both analytical and numerical solutions along with solutions to real transport modeling scenarios. more...
Field Hydrogeology- A Guide for Site Investigations and Report Preparationby John E. Moore
CRC Press 2002; US$ 109.95Useful as a field guide and a textbook, this guide contains standard methods for planning and undertaking hydrogeologic investigations. It incorporates case studies, contains a glossary of field-hydrogeology technical terms and provides a detailed list of ASTM standards and key hydrologic websites. more...
International Conference on Isotopes and Environmental Studiesby P. Povinec; J.A. Sanchez-Cabeza
Elsevier 2006; US$ 285.00The contents of the book are assembled from selected papers presented during the International Conference on Isotopes in Environmental Studies ? AQUATIC FORUM 2004 convened in Monaco from 25 to 29 October 2004, which was the most important gathering of the year of isotope environmental scientists. The book reviews the present state of the art isotopic methods for better understanding of key processes in the aquatic environment, responsible for its future development and its protection. The main highlights include the latest developments in the study of the behaviour, transport and distribution of isotopes in the aquatic environment, recent climate change records using isotopic tracers in the environment, global isotopic oceanic studies, new... more...

It is a well-organized, advanced, clearly written resource for all the professionals, scientists, graduate students, consultants, and water sector managers who deal with groundwater and who seek a comprehensive treatment of the subject of groundwater age. more...
Subsurface Hydrologyby George F. Pinder; Michael A. Celia
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 121.00With an emphasis on methodology, this reference provides a comprehensive examination of water movement as well as the movement of various pollutants in the earth's subsurface. The multidisciplinary approach integrates earth science, fluid mechanics, mathematics, statistics, and chemistry. Ideal for both professionals and students, this is a practical guide to the practices, procedures, and rules for dealing with groundwater. more...
Field Hydrogeologyby Rick Brassington
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 59.95The successful investigation of the hydrogeology of an area depends on the collection of reliable field data. Field Hydrogeology, Third Edition follows a systematic approach to completing a hydrogeological study and explains how to decide on the measurements that are needed and on the instruments and techniques required. Measurements that are needed and on the instruments and techniques required. Measurements of groundwater levels, rainfall and evaporation spring and stream flows and the use of ground water tracer techniques are covered. There is a great deal of practical information on all aspects of planning and completion of field investigation and on the interpretation of field investigation and on the interpretation of field evidence.... more...
