Summary
Summary
FEATURES/BENEFITS *Comprehensive, rigorous and highly accessible coverage-Offers well-structured and insightful discussions on groundwater flow, well hydraulics, field methods for parameter estimation, hydrologic relationships between surface water and groundwater hydrology, mass transport of contaminants by advection, diffusion and dispersion, and special problems posed by nonaqueous phase liquids (oils). *Enlightens and educates the reader on a wide range of practical interest areas involving todays engineers and scientists. *A sound foundation of introductory material to build upon-i.e., introduces Darcys law in a discussion based on fluid mechanics, then carefully connects all developments to basic principles (Ch. 2); relates multiphase partitioning relationships to simple phase relationships that students learned about in their introductory environmental engineering courses (Ch. 5). *Provides users with a solid base of fundamentals in all areas without becoming too abstract-giving the tools and intellectual confidence to progress to more difficult, related topics. *Strong focus on applications. *Empowers the reader with knowledge and methodologies that they will be able to use

Choice Review
Charbeneau (Univ. of Texas at Austin) writes about groundwater and pollutant transport in groundwater systems. He presents the subject matter so as to make it digestible to readers who are not already experts in groundwater flow. Nevertheless, the book is sufficiently rigorous and comprehensive; there are nine chapters and nine appendixes. Following an introduction to groundwater hydrology, the remaining eight chapters cover a wide variety of topics, in two different but related subjects. Chapter 2 is devoted to Darcy's law and continuity relations, while chapter 3 deals with groundwater and well hydraulics. Chapter 4 consists of discussions on the vadose zone and groundwater recharge. In contrast to quantitative problems, chapters 5 to 7 then discuss, in succession, groundwater contamination, solute transport, and modeling. The final chapter (chapter 9) treats multiphase flow and hydrocarbon recovery, an area that the author and his associates have researched for a number of years. In addition, the appendixes offer a number of particularly helpful aids. The book is clearly the work of a thoughtful and dedicated educator whose emphasis on fundamentals meets his expressed intent to develop a quantitative analysis of the subject from basic principles. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. Y. Ding; New Jersey Institute of Technology
