Applied Hydrogeology and Groundwater Engineering: Principles and Applications of Aquifers, Groundwater Flow, Well Testing, Water Quality, and Contaminant Transport - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS BELOW THE SURFACE—AND MAKE BETTER GROUNDWATER ENGINEERING DECISIONS

How much water can an aquifer actually supply? What does a pumping test reveal about subsurface conditions? How does groundwater move through different formations? And when contamination occurs, where will it travel—and how quickly?

Applied Hydrogeology and Groundwater Engineering turns these essential questions into a practical framework for understanding, analyzing, and solving groundwater problems.

Designed to connect hydrogeologic principles with real engineering applications, this book helps readers move beyond theory to understand how aquifers, wells, groundwater flow, water quality, and contaminants behave as an interconnected system.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand aquifer properties, recharge, storage, and groundwater occurrence
• Apply hydraulic-head, Darcy-flow, and groundwater-flow principles
• Evaluate confined, unconfined, and other aquifer systems
• Interpret pumping and well-test data to estimate aquifer properties
• Understand well hydraulics, drawdown, interference, and performance
• Assess groundwater chemistry and important water-quality indicators
• Analyze contaminant movement, dispersion, retardation, and transport
• Connect field observations, conceptual models, and engineering calculations
• Approach groundwater investigations and management problems systematically

Rather than presenting hydrogeology as isolated equations, this book emphasizes what the numbers reveal about real subsurface systems and how they support engineering decisions.

Ideal for hydrogeologists, groundwater engineers, environmental and civil engineers, water-resource professionals, geologists, consultants, graduate engineers, and students.

Whether you are evaluating an aquifer, interpreting a pumping test, investigating groundwater quality, assessing contaminant migration, or strengthening your professional knowledge, Applied Hydrogeology and Groundwater Engineering provides a practical foundation for approaching groundwater problems with greater clarity and technical confidence.
