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...

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...

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...
Effective Groundwater Model Calibrationby Mary C. Hill; Claire R. Tiedeman
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 116.00Methods and guidelines for developing and using mathematical models Turn to Effective Groundwater Model Calibration for a set of methods and guidelines that can help produce more accurate and transparent mathematical models. The models can represent groundwater flow and transport and other natural and engineered systems. Use this book and its extensive exercises to learn methods to fully exploit the data on hand, maximize the model's potential, and troubleshoot any problems that arise. Use the methods to perform: Sensitivity analysis to evaluate the information content of data Data assessment to identify (a) existing measurements that dominate model development and predictions and (b) potential measurements likely to improve the reliability... more...
The Essential Handbook of Ground-Water Samplingby David M. Nielsen
CRC Press 2006; US$ 59.95Citing examples of unnecessary expenditure due to the inaccuracy of outdated techniques, this book presents the economic and scientific cases for adopting new methodologies. Using numerous figures, tables, and references to recent research, the editors explain the efficiency of utilizing newer, more accurate, techniques that produce higher quality data. The text provides a detailed discussion of every aspect of groundwater sampling from the development of a sampling and analysis plan, through sample collection, pretreatment, handling, shipping, and analysis, to the documentation, interpretation, and presentation of ground-water quality data. more...
