Numerical calculations are inevitably required in the field of hydrogeology and play a significant role in dealing with its various aspects. As often as not, students are seen struggling while solving numerical problems based on hydrogeology, as they find difficulty in identifying the correct concept behind the problem and the formula that can be applied to it. Also, there is a dearth of books, which help the readers in solving numerical problems of varied difficulty level and enable them to have a firm grounding in the subject of hydrogeology. The book Hydrogeology: Problems with Solutions fills this void in the finest way, and as desired, chiefly focuses on the sequential steps involved in solving the problems based on hydrogeology. It concisely covers the fundamental concepts, advanced principles and applications of hydrogeological tasks rather than overemphasising the theoretical aspects. The text comprises sixty solved hydrogeological problems, which are logically organised into ten chapters, including hydrological cycle, morphometric analysis, hydrological properties, groundwater flow, well hydraulics, well design and construction, groundwater management, seawater intrusion, groundwater exploration and groundwater quality. The practice of pedagogy of hydrogeology in yesteryears was a two-tier approach of theoretical principles with toy problems and in-situ case studies for research start-up. This book bridges the gap between routine problem-solving and state-of-the-practice for future. The book is primarily intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Hydrogeology and Hydrology. It also serves as an excellent handy reference for all professionals.KEY FEATURES • Key Concept succinctly explores the models, methods and theoretical concepts related to each problem. • Necessary equations and formulae are specified. • Appendices and Glossary are included, leaving no scope to refer any other book. • Bibliography broadens the scope of the book.

Groundwater issues have generated worldwide concern in recent decades. The problems are numerous: too little groundwater, too much groundwater, groundwater contaminated by either saline water or a broad spectrum of industrial and domestic pollutants. Many urban groundwater problems are not unique to any one region, which is the thinking behind this book. Many of the case studies presented here have never before been described in English. Overall, the papers represent the work and experience of researchers and groundwater professionals who have worked on urban groundwater issues in developed and less-developed nations around the world. They reveal the magnitude and scope of the problem as well as identify future challenges, potential courses of action, and emerging technologies that offer hope for the future.

As introduced in Dr. Lee's 10-week class, Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology is written for professionals and graduate students who have a keen interest in the application of mathematics in hydrogeology. Its first seven chapters cover analytical solutions for problems commonly encountered in the study of quantitative hydrogeology, while the final three chapters focus on solving linear simultaneous equations, finite element analysis, and inversion for parameter determination. Dr. Lee provides various equation-solving methods that are of interest to hydrogeologists, geophysicists, soil scientists, and civil engineers, as well as applied physicists and mathematicians. In the classroom, this same information will help students realize how familiar equations in hydrogeology are derived-an important step toward development of a student's own mathematical models. Unlike other applied mathematics books that are structured according to systematic methodology, Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology emphasizes equation-solving methods according to topics. Hydrogeological problems and governing differential equations are introduced, including hydraulic responses to pumping in confined and unconfined aquifers, as well as transport of heat and solute in flowing groundwater.

Hydrogeology: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of hydrogeology to enable the reader to appreciate the significance of groundwater in meeting current and future water resource challenges. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect advances in the field since 2004. The book presents a systematic approach to understanding groundwater. Earlier chapters explain the fundamental physical and chemical principles of hydrogeology, and later chapters feature groundwater investigation techniques in the context of catchment processes, as well as chapters on groundwater quality and contaminant hydrogeology. Unique features of the book are chapters on the applications of environmental isotopes and noble gases in the interpretation of aquifer evolution, and on regional characteristics such as topography, compaction and variable fluid density in the explanation of geological processes affecting past, present and future groundwater flow regimes. The last chapter discusses groundwater resources and environmental management, and examines the role of groundwater in integrated river basin management, including an assessment of possible adaptation responses to the impacts of climate change. Throughout the text, boxes and a set of colour plates drawn from the authors’ teaching and research experience are used to explain special topics and to illustrate international case studies ranging from transboundary aquifers and submarine groundwater discharge to the over-pressuring of groundwater in sedimentary basins. The appendices provide conversion tables and useful reference material, and include review questions and exercises, with answers, to help develop the reader’s knowledge and problem-solving skills in hydrogeology. This accessible textbook is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students primarily in earth sciences, environmental sciences and physical geography with an interest in hydrogeology or groundwater science. The book will also find use among practitioners in hydrogeology, soil science, civil engineering and planning who are involved in environmental and resource protection issues requiring an understanding of groundwater.

Objectives of the book are meant to fulfill the main learning outcomes for students registered in named courses, which covered the following: - Solving problems in hydrology and making decisions about hydrologic issues that involve uncertainty in data, scant/incomplete data, and the variability of natural materials. - Designing a field experiment to address a hydrologic question. - Evaluating data collection practices in terms of ethics. - Interpret basic hydrological processes such as groundwater flow, water quality issues, water balance and budget at a specific site at local and regional scales based on available geological maps and data sets. - Conceptualizing hydrogeology of a particular area in three dimensions and be able to predict the effects on a system when changes are imposed on it. Learning outcomes are expected to include the following: - Overview of essential concepts encountered in hydrological systems. - Developing a sound understanding of concepts as well as a strong foundation for their application to real-world, in-the-field problem solving. - Acquisition of knowledge by learning new concepts, and properties and characteristics of water. - Cognitive skills through thinking, problem solving and use of experimental work and inferences - Numerical skills through application of knowledge in basic mathematics and supply issues. - Student becomes responsible for their own learning through solution of assignments, laboratory exercises and report writing. "Problem solving in engineering hydrology" is primarily proposed as an addition and a supplementary guide to fundamentals of engineering hydrology. Nevertheless, it can be sourced as a standalone problem solving text in engineering hydrology. The book targets university students and candidates taking first degree courses in any relevant engineering field or related area. The document is valued to have esteemed benefits to postgraduate students and professional engineers and hydrologists. Likewise, it is expected that the book will stimulate problem solving learning and quicken self-teaching. By writing such a script it is hoped that the included worked examples and problems will guarantee that the booklet is a precious asset to student-centered learning. To achieve such objectives immense care was paid to offer solutions to selected problems in a well-defined, clear and discrete layout exercising step-by-step procedure and clarification of the related solution employing vital procedures, methods, approaches, equations, data, figures and calculations. The new edition of the book hosted the incorporation of computer model programs for the different hydrological scenarios and encountered problems presented throughout the book. Developed programs were coded with Microsoft Visual Basic.NET 10 programming language, using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition. Most of the examples herein have an equivalent code listed alongside through the text. To avoid repetition though, some example programs were omitted whenever there was resemblance to another example elsewhere, to which the reader is kindly requested to refer to.
