Gives valuable insight into the status of ground water hydrology in the U.S. Originally published in 1962. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Natural Groundwater Flow is an important volume focused on providing a complete description of groundwater flow velocity field and the velocity oriented approach for conducting numerical simulations and other applications. The book presents background information regarding the causes leading to spatial variations of the water table, related concepts of phreatic and specific storage, artificial flow, and flow driven by differences in groundwater density. Block-scale permeability is discussed in detail, and numerical applications using the Galerkin finite element method and pre-modeling techniques for obtaining data required for numerical modeling are examined. The book also presents never-before-published information regarding the theoretical justification and elucidation of hydrological systems analysis to analyze the effects of different spatio-temporal scales. Natural Groundwater Flow is an important reference for environmental physicists, hydrogeologists, civil engineers, mathematical geologists, and petroleum reservoir engineers.

The discovery of toxic pollution at Love Canal brought ground water contamination to the forefront of public attention. Since then, ground water science and modeling have become increasingly important in evaluating contamination, setting regulations, and resolving liability issues in court. A clearly written explanation of ground water processes and modeling, Ground Water Models focuses on the practical aspects of model application. It: examines the role of models in regulation, litigation, and policy development; explains ground water processes and describes specific applications for models; presents emerging technologies; and offers specific recommendations for better use of ground water science in policy formation.
