Modeling Groundwater Flow and Pollution

by Arnold Verruijt and Jacob Bear

Book Overview

Groundwater constitutes an important component of many water resource systems, supplying water for domestic use, for industry, and for agriculture. Management of a groundwater system, an aquifer, or a system of aquifers, means making such decisions as to the total quantity of water to be withdrawn annually, the location of wells for pumping and for artificial recharge and their rates, and control conditions at aquifer boundaries.

nice book

This book presents theory and practice of groundwater and pollution flow simulation. It has thirteen chapters. Its first seven chapters contain theoretical information related to general porous media fluid flow along with mathematical models for flow in aquifers, seawater intrusion, unsaturated flow, and groundwater pollution. The last six chapters present numerical methods for solving the models developed in the theoretical chapters. There are special emphases for finite difference and finite element methods with BASIC`s programs for steady and unsteady pressure equations. It also contains chapters with BASIC's programs for convection-diffusion equations. This book is self-contained and it explains the most important deterministic techniques to simulate fluid flow in groundwater and pollution problems. It is a classic book in the subject and it deserves five starts.
