Book Description

Praise for Aquifer Hydraulics . . .

"Very easy to understand and follow, even for complicated applications . . . this book will be a significant addition to the library of individuals who are practicing in the field of geohydrology." -Professor M. M. Aral, Georgia Institute of Technology

"A valuable source of information for every student and practitioner of quantitative hydrogeology. I commend Dr. Batu for the thorough research and dedicated effort that went into the preparation of this book." -Stavros S. Papadopulos, Chairman, S. S. Papadopulos & Associates, Inc.

This book offers the most detailed and comprehensive coverage available of aquifer hydraulics, testing, and analysis for a wide range of aquifer and well types under differing conditions. It presents the theoretical foundations and limitations of existing analytical models for each ground water system, along with an in-depth examination of hydrogeologic data analysis methods. Translating theory into practice, detailed examples illustrate the real-world application of well test techniques-an invaluable aid to readers in the design, execution, and analysis of their own field tests.

With an accompanying computer disk packed with data analysis programs, Aquifer Hydraulics is an essential tool for practicing and aspiring hydrogeologists, environmental engineers, and others involved in aquifer evaluation and protection.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Vedat batu's Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis provides a valuable service—it teaches readers the most fundamental theory with a comprehensive overview of basic methods…Batu’s book is a very effective textbook…[and] is one of the most organized and systematic books that I have read and used…A beginning practitioner may find it absolutely invaluable." (EOS, Volume 79, number 52, December 29, 1998)

From the Publisher

Aquifers are a primary source of drinking water worldwide; their protection from depletion or pollution is a major concern. This book gives detailed examples of the application of a wide range of well test methods and provides practical methods for analyzing the field data recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Reference Book, February 17, 2000
By 
This review is from: Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis (Hardcover)
This is an exceptionally well written and organized book on aquifer hydraulics. It is an ideal reference book for practicing hydrogeologists and environmental engineers, as well as an excellent textbook for undergraduate and perhaps first year graduate students. The strength of the book lies in its thorough coverage of the literature and in its balance between theory and application.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review of "Aquifer Hydraulics" By Dr. Vedat Batu, March 5, 2003
By 
Dan Korth (Oak Brook, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis (Hardcover)
Dr. Batu has written the finest book on the subject of aquifer hydraulics I have ever read. The book is detailed and comprehensive in scope, well written and well organized. It is always the first book I reach for and usually the only book I need when I require knowledge on any aspect of aquifer hydraulics. This book is well worth the investment for anyone who works or studies in the field of hydrogeology.

By 
VM (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis (Hardcover)
Great Book! A book for all hydrogeologists and environmental professionals. I found this book well planned and organized. The information was presented simply and straight forward. Chapter 2 Fundamentals of Aquifer Hydraulics, was a nice overview of aquifer types and characteristics. I also liked the presentation of analytical models, hydraulics, testing, model limitations, and data analysis. A must have for the professionals personal library.
