Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology with Answers to Problems, References, and Index

This is a textbook as well as a reference book. The approach is process-oriented, and provides an intuitive feeling for the total science so that the subject can be seen as a whole rather than a collection of unconnected pieces.There is a great interest in hydrogeology. To this end chapters and sections are included that deal exclusively with state-of-the-art applications, including a signifcant number of worked examples of computational procedures and a problem set for most of the chapters. Contents includes: *Introduction *Origins of Porosity and Permeability *Ground Water Movement *Elastic Properties & Main Equations of Flow *Hydraulic Testing: Models, Methods & Applications *Ground Water as a Resource *Ground Water in the Basin Hydrologic System *Ground Water in the Earth's Crust *Heat Transport in Ground Water Flow *Solute and Particle Transport *Principles of Aqueous Geochemistry *Chamical Reactions *The Mathematics of Mass Transport *Mass Transport in Ground Water Flow: Aqueous System *Mass Transport in Ground Water Flow: Geologic Systems *Intro. to Contaminant Hydrogeology *Modeling Contaminant Transport *Process and Parameter Identification *Remediation *Answers to Problems *References *Index
