Quantitative Solutions in Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling addresses and solves a variety of questions and problems from hydrogeological practice. It includes major aspects of quantitative groundwater evaluation, from basic laboratory determination of hydrogeological parameters to complex analytical calculations and modeling for engineering purposes.
Groundwater modeling is a strong trend in hydrogeology. Recent years have seen the rapid development of sophisticated and powerful groundwater models, along with a decrease in the use of the more mathematically demanding analytical quantitative solutions. Quantitative Solutions in Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling avoids this conflict by explaining both modeling and mathematical solutions in detail.
Addresses and solves questions and problems from hydrogeological practice, combining theory and practice in hydrogeology and groundwater modeling. Discusses major aspects of quantitative groundwater evaluation, from basic laboratory determination of hydrogeological parameters to complex analytical calculations and modeling, and offers analytic solutions of one- and two-dimension groundwater flow problems. Other subjects include aquifer testing, characterization of groundwater flow domain for modeling, and a detailed explanation of the groundwater modeling program USGS MODFLOW. For hydrogeologists, environmental engineers, and civil engineers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
