Groundwater Science, Third Edition covers physical and chemical aspects of groundwater science, with emphasis on applications role in the hydrologic cycle and in water supply, contamination, mining, and construction issues. This interdisciplinary text weaves important methods and applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology, and environmental science, introducing you to the mathematical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. The previous edition won a Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association. This fully updated edition includes all new case studies, expanded ancillary materials (including software) and expanded problems.

It is a valuable resource for students and instructors in the geosciences, environmental sciences, and civil engineers with focuses in hydrology, hydrogeology, and environmental science.
