A nonmathmetical approach to numerical groundwater modeling, providing an understanding of model application, not of model theory. Covers basic concepts and methods of groundwater modeling; reviews the mathematical models for flow and transport; discusses analytical models; details numerical flow and transport models; and discusses application aspects including compiling data and auditing models. Includes appendices on hydrogeological parameters and pollutant characteristics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Focusing on modeling applications, this outstanding reference provides a step-by-step, non-mathematical approach to constructing and using realistic workable groundwater models on a daily basis. Extensive detailed drawings, case studies, practical examples, and sample models illustrate important concepts. Includes data on hydrogeologic features and pollutants plus a glossary of terms.
