Hydrology

An Environmental Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text covers the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrogeology. It takes an environmental slant dictated by the emphasis in recent times on the remediation of contaminated aquifers and surface-water bodies, as well as a demand for new designs that impose the least negative impact on the natural environment. Major topics covered include hydrological principles, groundwater flow, groundwater contamination and clean-up, groundwater applications to civil engineering, and surface water. Computer modelling is introduced in a logical way and a diskette is provided for a hands-on approach to learning.

This best-selling text covers the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrogeology, taking an environmental slant dictated by emphasis on the remediation of contaminated aquifers and surface-water bodies. It includes hundreds of pictures, figures, and tables, a generous amount of case studies, lab exercises, and worked example problems, and a diskette containing hands-on lab exercises on computer modeling. All of these features combine to make it an excellent choice for an introductory college text. The book's emphasis on the application of theories and principles to real-world problems with a strong focus on environmental issues guarantees its continued use as a general reference on hydrology.
