DESCRIPTION:
The Manual of Applied Field Hydrogeology covers actual procedures and real-world decisions not explained in textbooks. . Experienced hydrogeologists and those in related fields will also welcome its tested time-savers and trouble-avoidance tips. It provides plenty of practical examples to help you: *Stay on top of what can go wrong, and prevent mishaps, injuries, and disasters *Investigate contamination at hazardous waste sites safely and accurately *Provide prescriptions for site cleanup *Assess the quality and the quantity of an aquifer *Work with mining operations on both contamination prevention and new water sources *Design a single-well pumping test that's as effective as multiple wells *Locate sources of groundwater *Take a groundwater sample *Log a drill hole *Install a monitoring well *Monitor vadose *Analyze a slug test If you're a
Excellent Manual I've been working on geochemistry and hydro-geochemistry for the last three years and this book represent an "easy-to-follow" compendium of the most usual problems and situations that you can find on field. The author's explanations to some problems are quite ingenious and help to solve, in a practical way, most of the difficulties that you can find in real natural systems.. A Fun Approach to a Complicated Subject The authors have managed to take a subject that can be dry and intimidating and make it readable and enjoyable. I have been in the consulting business as a hydrogeologist for 20 years, and found that I needed to review "the basics" due to a career change to Water Resources. I found the book to be well organized, well written, and especially useful were all of the examples provided. I think it would be a very good book for students (those just starting out) and for those, like me, who need to review subjects, such as "aquifer hydrau. Awesome reference A Customer I've been working as a geologist for an environmental firm specializing in UST remediation for about six months. Having been working in a tangentally related field for six years, I needed a quick refresher. This book is providing that refresher - it will also prove an excellent reference for years to come. I found especially useful the portion on slug testing - my old college texts discuss slug testing but in a highly theoretical and impractical manner.
