Reviews

"""The book couples the basics of hydrogeology with analytical and numerical modeling methods and provides detailed coverage of both theory and practice. It is a source for clear, easy-to-understand, and step-by-step quantitative groundwater evaluation and contaminant fate and transport analysis, from basic laboratory determination to complex analytical calculations and computer modeling."" – In Environmental Geology, October 2007, Vol. 52, No. 7 ""This is an excellent and comprehensive text . . . While extensive use of examples is a very useful feature of this book, the case studies in these sections are particularly valuable because that is the source of much consultancy work. Clearly, this reader found the book extremely interesting and consider it is well worth a placement on the bookshelf of the practicing hydrogeologist and groundwater specialist."" – Diane Wiesner, Principal Scientist, AWA, June 2007"
