Groundwater is a vital source of water throughout the world. As the
number of groundwater investigations increase, it is important to
understand how to develop comprehensive quantified conceptual
models and appreciate the basis of analytical solutions or
numerical methods of modelling groundwater flow.
Groundwater Hydrology: Conceptual and Computational Models
describes advances in both conceptual and numerical modelling. It
gives insights into the interpretation of field information, the
development of conceptual models, the use of computational models
based on analytical and numerical techniques, the assessment of the
adequacy of models, and the use of computational models for
predictive purposes. It focuses on the study of groundwater flow
problems and a thorough analysis of real practical field case
studies.
It is divided into three parts:
* Part I deals with the basic principles, including a summary of
mathematical descriptions of groundwater flow, recharge estimation
using soil moisture balance techniques, and extensive studies of
groundwater-surface water interactions.
* Part II focuses on the concepts and methods of analysis for
radial flow to boreholes including topics such as large diameter
wells, multi-layered aquifer systems, aquitard storage and the
prediction of long-term yield.
* Part III examines regional groundwater flow including situations
when vertical flows are important or transmissivities change with
saturated depth.
Suitable for practising engineers, hydrogeologists, researchers in
groundwater and irrigation, mathematical modellers, groundwater
scientists, and water resource specialists. Appropriate for upper
level undergraduates and MSc students in Departments of Civil
Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Earth Science and Physical
Geography. It would also be useful for hydrologists, civil
engineers, physical geographers, agricultural engineers,
consultancy firms involved in water resource projects, and overseas
development workers.
