For courses in Groundwater/Hydrogeology or Ocean and Water Resources.
This is the first groundwater hydrology book composed entirely of genuine, applied problems that cover the range of concepts addressed in most groundwater hydrology courses. Twenty-one exercises help develop students’ quantitative skills, require data analysis and concept exploration, and incorporate current image and graphic technologies to enhance learning.
• Unique case-study approach to common groundwater problems and current situations:
– Applies exercises to well-documented case studies that use intriguing story lines to provide a central issue for each exercise.
– Enhances students’ understanding of hydrologic concepts and
principles,
• Practical, real-world problems – Help students learn hydrogeologic concepts in the context of an actual problem or field situation.Â
– Creates a more direct association between the concepts and skills the student is to learn and the applied nature of the
science.Â
– Presents extensive details concerning each case study
 to demonstrate the real-world connection.
• Interactive learning with EXCEL based problems – Compels students to apply concepts to complete the exercises; EXCEL provides immediate graphical and quantitative feedback.
• All answers to quantitative analysis and conceptual questions in the instructor’s version – Includes all the EXCEL
worksheets in completed form.
• Clear and concise discussion of principles and equations used within each exercise.
• In-depth analysis of groundwater issues from multiple perspectives:
– Students examine several of the localities multiple
times in different exercises.Â
– Promotes a more complete understanding of the geologic and hydrogeologic issues surrounding the groundwater principles.
