This book was required for a Groundwater Contaminant Transport class I'm taking. It is very thorough in it's scope and gives a lot of details overall. My complaint about it is that it is very inconsistent with its notation of equations, etc. ie: it will be talking about the same thing but using different notations and it seems they are different concepts. This book is written from a geologist perspective and not so much an engineering perspective (what I am). It assumes an in depth understanding of geochemistry. One good thing is it has some of the answers in the back.

I've been using this book for a graduate class at WSU. The book is helpful, but written with limited field imput and a lot of theory, which can be difficult to digest. I often find myself refering to Fetter's Applied Hydrogeology or the web to figure out what the authors are trying to say.

Product was as described. It would have nice to know that the book did not include the cd, but I ended up not needing it anyway. Good transaction.

This book is an incredible reference for a wide array of hydrogeologic topics. Every hydrogeologist or environmental engineer would do well to have this book on his or her shelf.

I used this text in my undergraduate studies and found it difficult to glean specific answers to applied questions. However, it is very detailed reference that I found useful in my professional career.
