Description
A core text or supplement for Applied Hydrology courses. Paperback format makes it also suitable as a quick reference for professionals. Designed to fill the gap between the theoretical world of traditional college courses and the applied world of real-life water studies, this text explains how to conduct sound hydrogeologic studies and prepare solid hydrogeologic reports. Although emphasis is on ground water, pertinent surface-water and soil-water topics are covered briefly for completeness.
