It is comprehensive both in terms of variety of subject areas and the material covered for each subject. It includes theory, modelling, and applications. So, it can be used as textbook, reference book, and even as a book for design guidelines. It contains basic concepts as well as advanced and state-of-the-art materials. It is a must-have book for students, researchers, consultants, people from academia, and practitioners. -S. M. Hassanizadeh, Utrecht University, The Netherlands This is the ideal text for students and professionals who are interested in learning the subsurface hydrology and advanced applications in groundwater engineering. -Kuo-Chin Hsu, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan The book is encyclopedic in its scope and is a valuable resource for both practitioners and researchers. The handbook covers traditional topics, as well as cutting edge topics on new emerging groundwater problems. There is no other comprehensive book that includes new topics such as multiscale methods, hydraulic tomography, scaling, anomalous dispersion, CO2 sequestration, climate change, and ecohydrology. -Albert J. Valocchi, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA The book gives a nice 'big-picture' introduction to the classical and state-of-the-art concepts used in hydrology. Ideal for anyone entering a hydrological field without the specific technological background. I work with graduate students and researchers in other areas, and this book is an ideal resource for bridging fields. -Lynn Schreyer, Washington State University, USA I find the materials very concise and exceptionally well-written ... the book is an encyclopedia for beginners, and a catalogue for advanced readers; but also readable to general audience with a basic level of scientific training. -Peng Wang, Beihang University, Beijing, China The handbook presents a nice and complete review on the most important topics related to groundwater hydrology. I do research in the field of porous media and I know very well the quality of the research published by the different scientists in charge for the writing of the handbook's chapters. Since theoretical aspects and well as advanced and evolving approaches are described, the handbook is suitable for students that want to approach the 'porous medium world' as well as researchers that want to be updated on the novel issues concerning porous medium investigation and modeling. -Monica Moroni, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ...a well-rounded tool useful to academicians, modelers, and engineering practitioners alike. I appreciate the very thorough approach to groundwater engineering. I am confident the materials presented can act as a reference for both academics and practitioners, and thus reach to a broad audience. The index is complete, and so is the coverage of classical and innovative topics. -Vittorio Di Federico, University of Bologna, Italy I am sure that students, teachers, researchers and practitioners concerned with groundwater analysis will find much in this book that is instructive, useful and timely. -Gerardo Severino, University of Naples Federico II, Italy ""This is one of the best books in groundwater science and engineering.
