Summary

For courses in Groundwater/Hydrogeology or Ocean and Water Resources.
 
This is the first groundwater hydrology book composed entirely of genuine, applied problems that cover the range of concepts addressed in most groundwater hydrology courses. Twenty-one exercises help develop students' quantitative skills, require data analysis and concept exploration, and incorporate current image and graphic technologies to enhance learning.
