Groundwater Hydraulics and Pollutant Transport

/97561-5, 0-13-975616-7, Charbeneau, Groundwater Hydraulics and Pollutant Transport, 1/E//--> A valuable, applications-oriented reference for civil and environmental engineers, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to groundwater hydraulics and pollutant transport with sound discussion of significant processes and numerous applied examples of methods used for field estimation of parameters and design. Covers 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). Introduces novel computational tools—such as spreadsheets that can be uses to evaluate hyrocarbon distributions and free-product recovery systems—and discusses standard industry software (the USGS MODFLOW model, and USGS MOC3D model for solute transport. For civil engineers, water resource engineers, hydraulic engineers, geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, and geologists.
