Description
The groundwater science and engineering has been closely connected with various fields (1) Groundwater Hydrology, (2) Groundwater Hydraulics or Geohydraulics, (3) Fluid Dynamics in Porous Media, (4) Groundwater Quality Engineering, (5) Soil Physics, and (6) Hydrogeology or Geohydrology. The purpose of the book is to present an update textbook of groundwater hydraulics, which includes all of basic items in above-mentioned fields, to students (of graduate school), researchers and practitioners. The students and beginners who intend to specialize in groundwater hydraulics through one semester will master contents of the book. 1 Introduction to Groundwater and Aquifer System.- 2 Formulation of the Basic Groundwater Flow Equations.- 3 Dispersion Process and Saltwater Intrusion in Groundwater.- 4 Groundwater Flow under a Temperature Gradient.- 5 Numerical Methods in Groundwater Flow Analysis.- 6 Groundwater Investigation.- 7 Groundwater Resource Management.- Answers.
