Muhammad I Haque

Mechanics of Groundwater in Porous Media

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Maintaining a careful balance between mathematical rigor and the physical aspects of groundwater movement, this senior undergraduate- and graduate-level environmental engineering text covers the topic from theory to practice. Avoiding unnecessary mathematical subtleties and oversimplifications of qualitative descriptions, the book assumes calculus knowledge generally acquired during the first two semesters at a university, while further developing the skills needed for the analysis of groundwater movement. Featuring numerous illustrations and worked examples, the text also makes an excellent professional reference for engineers, geologists, and hydrologists.
