Introduction to Hydrogeology

Abstract

A comprehensive introduction to hydrogeology, this book covers all major fields in hydrogeology. It includes outlines on the occurrence of groundwater in various rock types, the movement and storage of groundwater, the formulation of groundwater balances, and the development of groundwater chemistry. The last chapter highlight the practical application of hydrogeology for groundwater development. The author uses a unique systems approach to describe and connect the various elements of hydrogeology and includes a large selection of examples of groundwater cases from various parts. The theoretical parts and the examples are illustrated by a large number of drawings, photos, and computer printouts.
