Based on Dr. Batu's 20 years of practical experience in dealing with aquifer problems in a myriad of settings, this comprehensive text compiles scattered literature to provide an up-to-date reference for those in the field, as well as those learning about it. It addresses essentially every currently applied flow and contaminant transport modeling approach for aquifer problems, combines theory with practical applications, and covers both analytical and numerical solutions as applied in real world modeling scenarios. According to the Vadose Zone Journal, this "useful and well organized text¿ includes a number of analytical solutions, and numerous tables and graphics that compile solute transport and hydraulic parameters not typically present in existing ground water or solute transport texts.
