From the Back Cover
A thorough, up-to-date guide to groundwater science and technology
Our understanding of the occurrence and movement of water under the Earth’s surface is constantly advancing, with new models, improved drilling equipment, new research, and refined techniques for managing this vital resource. Responding to these tremendous changes, David Todd and new coauthor Larry Mays equip readers with a thorough and up-to-date grounding in the science and technology of groundwater hydrology.
Groundwater Hydrology, Third Edition offers a unified presentation of the field, treating fundamental principles, methods, and problems as a whole. With this new edition, you’ll be able to stay current with recent developments in groundwater hydrology, learn modern modeling methods, and apply what you’ve learned to realistic situations.
Highlights of the Third Edition
- New example problems and case studies, as well as problem sets at the end of each chapter.
- A special focus on modern groundwater modeling methods, including a new chapter on modeling (Chapter 9), which describes the U. S. Geological Survey MODFLOW model.
- Over 300 new figures and photos.
- Both SI and U.S. customary units in the example problems.
- Expanded coverage of groundwater contamination by chemicals.
- New references at the end of each chapter, which provide sources for research and graduate study.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential Basic Reference,
By A Reader "Jim U." (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ground Water Hydrology (Hardcover)
In spite of its age, this book continues to be an essential basic reference on the subject. Well organized and clearly written, the authors stated goal was "to present the fundamentals of groundwater hydrology in a manner understandable to [a wide variety of students and professionals]." If I were suddenly called to work in a foreign country and could only take one book, this would be the one. A slight drawback is the use of metric units throughout, perhaps because the book was expected to be translated into a number of foreign languages. This is the completely rewritten second edition of the original edition published in 1959. The first edition of this book was probably the first fundamental textbook on the subject. Basic information or equations that are not in Todd, usually can be found in "Groundwater" by Freeze and Cherry (John Cherry was a student of Todd's).

3rd edition is up-to-date,
This review is from: Groundwater Hydrology (Paperback)
The reviews written in 2000 and 2001 referred to the 2nd edition. The 3rd edition, published in 2004, is now up-to-date.
The 3rd edition includes information on modern groundwater modeling methods (including the Modflow model), more coverage of chemical contamination in groundwater, and includes both U.S. and SI units in the examples.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Groundwater Hydrology (Paperback)
This book is a great reference for me in this moments, actually I was studing a master in science in Civil Engineering and the profesor indicates that is very good book. The format of the topics are very interesting and in according with the silabus of the class, then in effect was a good purchase.
