For one-semester, undergraduate courses in Hydrogeology and Groundwater Engineering.

This lab manual features a hands-on approach to learning about the physical and chemical processes that govern groundwater flow and contaminant movement in the subsurface. It will aid students in developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the science and art of hydrogeology.

  • NEW - Six new lab exercises.

    • Provides students with practical material that explores regional aquifer studies, slug tests, and the use of tracers to determine aquifer and contaminant parameters and modeling retardation, biodegradation, and aquifer heterogeneity.

  • Available at a discount when wrapped with any PH hydrology/hydrogeology text.
  • 21 lab exercises.

    • Offers students and instructors broad coverage of the topics at hand.

  • Flexible format.

    • Allows instructors to select material to enhance their lecture coverage.

  • Accompanying CD-ROM—Contains data files, spreadsheets, programs, and ParticleFlow—a finite-element numerical model used to simulate groundwater flow and particle transport.

    • Supplies students with a very user-friendly, powerful tool that can model groundwater flow and contaminant particle flow, and enable students to investigate the difference between assuming aquifer homogeneity and modeled heterogeneity.

  • Six new lab exercises.

    • Provides students with practical material that explores regional aquifer studies, slug tests, and the use of tracers to determine aquifer and contaminant parameters and modeling retardation, biodegradation, and aquifer heterogeneity.
