Product Description
PB/B This best selling book, IApplied Hydrogeology/I gives readers a balanced examination of all facets of hydrogeology. It text stresses the application of mathematics to problem solving rather than derivation of theory. It provides a balance between physical and chemical hydrogeology. Numerous case studies cultivate reader understanding of the occurrence and movement of ground water in a variety of geologic settings. B/B This valuable reference includes five new case histories: The Dakota Aquifer, Fractures Sedimentary Rocks#8212;Newark basin, Faults as Aquifer Boundaries, Desert Hydrology#8212;Azraq basin, Jordan. Uses the Internet to obtain hydrogeologic data and information. Includes well-developed case studies in most of the chapters. Contains tables covering various functions, unit conversions, and additional data for solving well hydraulics, water chemistry, and contaminant transport problems. B/B For readers interested in advanced hydrology, groundwater hydrology, hydrogeology, and civil engineering. /P

 I would buy form this retailer again November 24, 2008
Kyle B. Quick
The book had a couple of marks (some very minor highlighting and writing in pencil) that was not mentioned on the description when I purchased the book, but the retailer notified me and upgraded the shipping at no charge. I appreciated the seller notifying me of this.
 Hard to understand September 19, 2008
Student 101
This book was very hard to follow. I had to use the book for an under grad hydogeology course and I did not learn anything from this book. I had to order another book in order to understand this book. It might be okay for an upper division course but for an undergrad it was almost impossible. I do not recommend buying this book.
 Typical Engineering Textbook November 6, 2006

This book is written much like your typical engineering textbook, which means it will probably stress out non-engineers. The organization of the book is unintuitive, especially for an undergraduate, which makes doing homework with it unecessarily time consuming. In addition, the index is very limited. I would have prefered an alternative for my undergrad Hydro class.
thorough, well-defined, fluent January 14, 2005
Jamie Fisher (Philadelphia, PA)
I was very happy to use this text throughout my course on Hydrogeology. The verbage was succinct, the problems were applicable and well-complimented with the website for explanations, and the chapter reviews were impendious. At the end of each chapter, Fetter cocnluded with a detail of symbols; which I found to be a nice touch. Often an author uses a symbol once and expects the reader to always retain its significance, which is an unreal circumstance. The case studies were necessary to hammer home a concept! They were well-written and facilitated the goal of explaining a hydrogeological problem, and a solution. br /The typographical errors of the first edition were corrected in this edition. br /I recommend this text to all aspiring earth scientists.

I found this book the easiest to read, compaired to a few other groundwater textbooks out there. It concentrates on the practical applications as opposed to formula derivations.
