This book presents a comprehensive discussion of basics of
groundwater hydrology, its hydrologic and engineering aspects, and
the mechanics involved in the study of flow of groundwater. The
matter is presented in a logical sequence, placing emphasis on the
application of theory and on the practical aspects of groundwater
hydrology. The book introduces the geological formations of
aquifers, discusses soil physics, describes the solutions of
differential equations for confined and unconfined aquifers,
elucidates groundwater flow equations and explains the phenomenon
of interference of wells. The book also deals with tube wells and
open wells, their design criteria, construction and work,
revitalisation and spacing, as well as their potential for
irrigation. The issues of groundwater prospecting, analogue models
to study the response of aquifers to simulated field conditions,
the current issues of concern pertaining to quality parameters of
groundwater, and applications of remote sensing for survey and
geological explorations for groundwater, are all addressed in the
latter part of the book. The book is intended for the senior
undergraduate students of civil engineering and postgraduate
students (who specialise in Water Resources Engineering) of civil
engineering. Besides it will be useful to the students pursuing
courses in agricultural engineering. KEY FEATURES : Includes
numerous objective-type questions (with answers) at the end of each
chapter Contains worked-out numerical problems Provides chapter-end
questions and unsolved numerical problems with answers for practice
