Product Description
A comprehensive presentation of groundwater hydrology that integrates chemistry, physics, geology, and calculus while applying theory to real-world geology. Provides quantitative methods of calculation in groundwater hydrology. Contains sections on transport processes, ground water contamination, well hydraulics, and aquifer yield — including analog and numerical modeling. Covers mathematical derivations in appendices.

As Good as Others by Ori Sartono (Fresno, CA)

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.

I lost my original copy of this book about 10 years ago and decided that I could no longer function without it! It is probably the best written textbook that I have ever owned. Complex groundwater topics are described in a manner that can be easily understood.

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.

This is a good complement to "Groundwater Hydrology" by Todd. Freeze and Cherry is more detailed, rigorous, and quantitative than Todd, but it doesn't communicate the big picture quite as well. As well as an undergraduate textbook, this book is an essential resource for anyone working in the field.

The "bible" of groundwater

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.
