Product Description
Since publication of the first edition of this text, knowledge of groundwater has advanced and concern about the environment has increased. There have been major droughts and increasing worries over possible long-term water shortages, and suggestions that the climate is being changed by human activities. The second edition covers these topics as they relate to hydrogeology, and is presented in a style intended for the non-specialist reader, with technical terms and mathematical formulae kept to a minimum.;The chapter on water quality has been enlarged to provide more information on chemistry and micro-organisms, and a major new chapter focuses on pollution. The rest of the book has been updated, and contains more on legislation.

The essentials of Groundwater
Reccommended to me as part of my university course - and was actually useful! Very easy to read and the chapters appear in a logical order so you can read from the front to the back and know whats going on.
The pictures are relevant and easy to understand and reference to the text.
The explanations given in the book, though not overtly complex, were detailed enough to write a good basic essay with a few points expanded on in detail. My only criticism is that there was perhaps not enough content on the actual chemistry of groundwater and what there was, was very simple.
