Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology

Concentrating on the practice of hydrogeology, this volume deals with fluid, energy and mass transport in porous media. Specific topics covered include ground water movement, elasticity of chemical reactions and process and parameter identification.

Not simply a reference volume or collection of facts and formulas, this book takes a process-oriented approach, looking at the subject as a whole rather than as a collection of pieces. Concentrating on the practice of hydrogeology, chapters cover state-of-the-art application, including a significant number of worked examples of computational procedures and problem sets. After presenting preliminary information on the hydrologic cycle and the porosity and permeability of porous material, the book deals with fluid, energy and mass transport in porous media. Specific topics such as ground water movement, elasticity of chemical reactions and process and parameter identification are also covered.
