This is a entry-level handbook,
This review is from: Site Assessment and Remediation Handbook, Second Edition (Hardcover)
This is an entry-level book, in general, it is a good book. but there are too much error in typing. when I saw those obviously errors, I really don't feel comfortable.

Great Reference for Practical Answers,
By Kenyonlands (Northern Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Site Assessment and Remediation Handbook, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Am a novice hydrogeologist and was in search of answers for a bedrock pump test I had just performed. Specifically, wanted to interpret drawdown curves obtained from observation wells. Sara's book gave so many useful examples and how these curves were derived. He gives several fracture pattern profiles with the drawdown curves to match each situation from various pump tests.
His whole Chapter 6 "Fractured Rock Assessments" is packed with information, particularly from testing and analysis that he has performed. He was an engineering and environmental geologist in the private sector, so the text is given from the "consulting geologist" standpoint and not from an academic standpoint, as so many of the familiar groundwater textbooks (e.g. Freeze and Cherry, Fetter, and D.K. Todd). I've only just scratched the surface of this book, but already it has paid for itself. Am sure there are many other useful tidbits for the consulting geologist yet to be found in this "doorstop" of a book (it's huge in size! -- it dwarfs the other old standby, Driscoll's Groundwater and Wells). There are typos and grammatical errors (it needed a keener editor's eye), but the points come through clearly and this book is jammed with information - we can forgive him - for sharing so much helpful information.
