Book, Underground Waters 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 the flow of groundwater contaminants. The author integrates updated field methods with the fundamentals of current flow modeling methods: analysis elements, finite differences, and finite elements. Includes a chapter that addresses how climate change can drastically affect the water table through the increase and decrease in precipitation, impacting the behavior of groundwater and infiltration.
