Hydrogeology is now considered to be a core course in the curriculum of undergradu-ate geology programs as well as many fields of engineering. There is ongoing de-mand for persons with training in hydrogeology by consulting organizations, state and federal regulatory agencies, and industrial firms.
Most of the employment in hydrogeolo-gy is in the environmental area. This is a book that will help prepare students for either a career in hydrogeology or in other areas of environmental science and engineering where a strong background in hydrogeology is needed. It is also useful in helping individuals who are preparing to take state ex-aminations for professional registration as a hydrologist or hydrogeologist. It can be found as a reference book in the personal library of many working professionals.
The reader is expected to have a working knowledge of college algebra, and calculus is helpful, but not necessary, for practical understanding of the material.
A background in college chemistry is necessary to understand the chapter on water chemistry. The book stresses the application of mathematics to problem-solving rather than the derivation of theory.
To this end you will find many example problems with step-by-step solutions. Case studies in many chapters enhance understanding of the occurrence and movement of ground water in a variety of geological settings. A glossary of hydrogeological terms makes this book a valuable reference.
The fourth edition contains new case studies and end-of-chapter problems. In most cases the problems are paired. An odd-numbered problem will have the answer given in a section in the back of the book, followed by an even-numbered problem without the answer.
Many chapters in the fourth edition also contain a section called Analysis, with non-numerical questions. Included with the text are working student versions of three computer programs that are used by ground-water professionals.
