Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

The scientific disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology are expanding as the Earth's water is being recognized by governments and individuals as a shrinking resource-no entity can afford to take water for granted. At the present time, there is no single reference source for definitions. The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology is a practical, comprehensive reference guide with complete definitions of terms in hydrogeology and other fields closely related to water practices. This concise reference not only defines terms and concepts, but also provides a clear explanation of key elements so that an in-depth understanding of processes may be obtained.
* With more than 2,000 entries, from "absolute permeability" to the "Z-R relationship," this dictionary features the most up-to-date vocabulary in hydrology and hydrogeology. This dictionary would be of use to practicing scientists and professionals in all the fields of water science.
* More than 340 graphs, tables and diagrams complement the entries in order to clarify terms, methods, or processes
* Essential reference for students, academics, consultants, and practitioners in hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, environmental law, and the government

Review This Product

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 | Review by: Matthys D.

I've recently purchased the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology and subsequently also had one ordered for the library at the University where I lecture in Hydrogeology. It is a wonderful, concise book functioning not only as a definitive dictionary, but also an explanatory encyclopedia of hydrogeology. Concepts are all-encompassing and well explained and cover most fundamentals of groundwater science. This book is used well in conjunction with other topical text books and is highly recommended.
