Engineering applications of hydrogeology is a new subject in our country. As a research assistant, we had some problems to show the practical use of hydrogeology, especially field hydrogeology, to our students. This book may solve many of our application problems. Although, English is a foreign language for us and our students, this book can easily be followed. Most of the mathematical formula frightens students, but as this book was kept away from them, students will easily get the hydrogeological point of view.

Despite my giving an address that was impossible to deliver to, the book arrived on time and in good condition. Mr. Fisher was more on top of the situation than I was; and for this, I am very thankful! The book has insights that are quite valuable to my studies and would recommend it to anyone with a scholarly interest in hydrology, geology or the art of writing environmental reports.

Most introductory hydrogeology textbooks are massive books full of difficult math. The concepts behind the math can be easily lost. This book focuses on conceptual issues rather than mathematical modelling. At only 248 pages, it makes an excellent adjunct for students working off more difficult texts. It is also useful for beginning consultants as it covers such oft-neglected topics as report-writing and publically-available data sources.
