Description

Not simply a reference volume or collection of facts and formulas, this book takes a process-oriented approach, looking at the subject as a whole rather than as a collection of pieces. Concentrating on the practice of hydrogeology, chapters cover state-of-the-art application, including a significant number of worked examples of computational procedures and problem sets. After presenting preliminary information on the hydrologic cycle and the porosity and permeability of porous material, the book deals with fluid, energy and mass transport in porous media. Specific topics such as ground water movement, elasticity of chemical reactions and process and parameter identification are also covered.

Table of Contents

  • The Origin of Porosity and Permeability
  • Groundwater Movement
  • Elastic Properties and Main Equations of Flow
  • Hydraulic Testing - Models, Methods, and Applications
  • Groundwater as a Resource
  • Groundwater in the Basic Hydrologic Cycle
  • Groundwater in the Earth's Crust
  • Heat Transport in Groundwater Flow
  • Solute and Particle Transport
  • Principles of Aqueous Geochemistry
  • Chemical Reactions
  • The Mathematics of Mass Transport
  • Mass Transport in Groundwater Flow - Aqueous Systems
  • Mass Transport in Groundwater Flow - Geologic Systems
  • Introduction to Contaminant Hydrogeology
  • Modeling Contaminant Transport
  • Process and Parameter Identification
  • Remediation.
