Book, Groundwater 2/14[LS]

This book deals with groundwater within the hydrological cycle and its relationship with issues of water supply, contamination and construction.. It is recommended as a textbook for teachers and students of Environmental Engineering and as a reference work for professional researchers.. Its interdisciplinary content presents important methods and applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology and environmental sciences, introducing students and professionals to mathematical modeling and groundwater contaminant flow.. The author integrates up-to-date field methods with the fundamentals of current flow modeling methods: elements of analysis, finite differences and finite elements. Includes a chapter that addresses how climate change can drastically affect the water table through increased and decreased precipitation, impacting the behavior of groundwater and infiltration.
