Synopsis "Groundwater Hydrology (in English)"
A thorough, up-to-date guide to groundwater science andtechnologyOur understanding of the occurrence and movement of water under theEarth's surface is constantly advancing, with new models, improveddrilling equipment, new research, and refined techniques formanaging this vital resource. Responding to these tremendouschanges, David Todd and new coauthor Larry Mays equip readers witha thorough and up-to-date grounding in the science and technologyof groundwater hydrology.Groundwater Hydrology, Third Edition offers a unified presentationof the field, treating fundamental principles, methods, andproblems as a whole. With this new edition, you'll be able to staycurrent with recent developments in groundwater hydrology, learnmodern modeling methods, and apply what you've learned to realisticsituations.Highlights of the Third Edition* New example problems and case studies, as well as problem sets atthe end of each chapter.* A special focus on modern groundwater modeling methods, includinga new chapter on modeling (Chapter 9), which describes the U. S.Geological Survey MODFLOW model.* Over 300 new figures and photos.* Both SI and U.S. customary units in the example problems.* Expanded coverage of groundwater contamination bychemicals.* New references at the end of each chapter, which provide sourcesfor research and graduate study.Student and instructor resources for this text are available on thebook's website at www.wiley.com/college/todd.
