As 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...
