5.0 out of 5 stars The "bible" of groundwater, March 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Groundwater (Hardcover)
Despite the fact that this book was written almost twenty years ago, it is still considered the definitive work on groundwater geology. A must-have for hydrogeologists and groundwater engineers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Groundwater, April 19, 2003
By 
VM (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Groundwater (Hardcover)
Overall a very good book. This is the text our Hydrogeology professor, Dr.J.Toth used in the 80's. It covers a great deal of information on facies,flow nets, hydrologic cycle, chemical evolution, groundwater resource evaluation, contamination, groundwater processes and a really good section on chemical principles and mass action. This is not a quantitative text, the discussions on finite difference and finite element methods include very little math. I would have also liked to have seen a better discussion of well hydraulics. I still turn to it for a reference as it is a very useful book.

4.0 out of 5 stars As Good as Others, July 21, 2009
This review is from: Groundwater (Hardcover)
This book is a one for all kind of book, which is a good thing to have as a reference. The authors are mainly researchers, thus more theories than practical side explained. So, as a hydrogeologist , I also use other books by Todd, Bouwer, and Fetter at works.

I don't know why Dr. John A. Cherry does not include more on the groundwater contamination, as he is one of the "stars" on that field.
