Master the latest advances in hydrogeology using this fully updated

This thoroughly revised guide clearly explains cutting-edge hydrogeology techniques that can be applied in the field. Featuring contributions from leading experts, Practical Hydrogeology: Principles and Field Applications, Third Edition, shows how to plan and conduct site investigations, avoid pitfalls in the field, interpret a wide array of data types gathered, and prepare water-quality reports. You will get complete coverage of key procedures, including aquifer testing, groundwater sampling, water-quality assessment, aquifer characterization, and tracer tests. This third edition has been reorganized and expanded with up-to-date information, a new chapter, review questions, and real-world examples.

Coverage includes:

  • Field hydrogeology
  • The geology of hydrogeology
  • Aquifer properties
  • Groundwater flow
  • Pumping tests
  • Slug testing
  • Aquifer hydraulics
  • Water chemistry sampling
  • Groundwater/surface-water interaction
  • Vadose-zone analysis
  • Karst hydrogeology and tracer tests
  • Drilling and well completion
