Soil Water Dynamics [Paperback]

Arthur W. Warrick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 13, 2003 | ISBN-10: 019512605X | ISBN-13: 978-0195126051

This book presents a rigorous mathematical development of soil water and contaminant flow in variably saturated and saturated soils. Analytical and numerical methods are balanced: computer programs, among them MathCad and Fortran, are presented, and more than 150 practice and discussion questions are included. Students are thus exposed not only to theory but also to an array of solutions techniques. Those using the book as a reference will appreciate the careful development of basic flow equations, the inclusion of solutions and methodology currently available only in journals and proceedings volumes, and the examples and calculations directly applicable to their own work.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I consider Soil Water Dynamics to occupy a unique station among its contemporaries. Many topics necessarily overlap in soil physics texts...but the focus of Warrick's book is less general and hence is able to provide greater detail. Many professionals and advanced students in soil physics, engineering, and hydrology will welcome Dr. Warrick's new book as a reference, an introduction in some cases, to advanced quantatative methods in flow and transport."--Jon M. Wraith, Vadose Zone Journal

This review is from: Soil Water Dynamics (Paperback)

This is a great book that is very complicated and takes a bit of reading and a whole lot of math to figure out. It is a good book and is a pretty good text on Soil Water Dynamics. Is a great companion to a Soil Physics book.
