Introducing groundwater (Special Topics in Geology)

This introduction to the subject presents the topic of groundwater to the non-specialist reader in an accessible and illuminating style. Technical terms are clearly explained and mathematical formulae are reduced to a minimum. The new edition deals more extensively with the pollution of groundwater by a variety of substances. This book should be of interest to undergraduate students taking courses in geology, earth sciences, engineering geology, geography, environmental sciences, civil engineering; postgraduate MSc courses in hydrology/hydrogeology; and diplomas in water resources engineering.
