Textbook in PDF format

There is a continued demand for well-trained and competent hydrogeologists, especially in the environmental sector. For decades, Fetter's Applied Hydrogeology has helped prepare students to excel in careers in hydrogeology or other areas of environmental science and engineering where a strong background in hydrogeology is needed. The text's long-standing tradition as a vital resource is further enhanced in the fifth edition by Kreamer’s added expertise.Stressing the application of mathematics to problem-solving, example problems throughout the book provide students the opportunity to gain a much deeper understanding of the material. Some important topics include the properties of aquifers, the principles of groundwater flow, water chemistry, water quality and contamination, and groundwater development and management. The addition of new case studies and end-of-chapter problems will strengthen understanding of the occurrence and movement of ground water in a variety of geological settings.
