Editorial Reviews

A nonmathmetical approach to numerical groundwater modeling, providing an understanding of model application, not of model theory. Covers basic concepts and methods of groundwater modeling; reviews the mathematical models for flow and transport; discusses analytical models; details numerical flow and transport models; and discusses application aspects including compiling data and auditing models. Includes appendices on hydrogeological parameters and pollutant characteristics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
