Dynamics
of Fluids in Porous Media
by Jacob Bear, Paperback, 764 pages, List: $19.95
This is a very
technical treatment of hydrogeology. It covers matrix properties, fluid
transport, anisotropic media, unconfined fw, immiscible fluids, diffusion
and much more.There are equations on every page, but there are also graphics
that are helpful in understanding and useful in application.If you have
a specific question or problem you need help with in the realm of aquifer
hydrology, this is the place to go (if you can cut through the developmental
calculus).
Groundwater
by R. Allan Freeze, Hardcover, List: $86.67
Long the standard
introductory text on ground water.
Groundwater
Hydrology by Herman Bouwer, Hardcover, 480 pages, List: $128.50
This is an
exceptionally lucid treatment of hydrogeology.It covers all the standard
hydrodynamic issues, as well as unconfined aquifers, vadose zone dynamics
and infiltration/evapotranspiration. Practical issues such as well design,
subsidence and water quality are also covered. Some of the issue touched
upon in this book, just are not found elsewhere.The coverage of a number
of sections heavily reference the text by Campbell and Lehr (below).
Groundwater
and Wells
by Fletcher G. Driscoll, 2nd Edition, Hardcover, List: $65.75
A principal
source for information concerning the design, installation, operation and
maintenance of water wells. All aspects of well design such as well screens
and pumps are discussed in some detail. An interesting coverage of hydrogeologic
issues is included. The text is light on references. A text for your bookshelf.
Water
Well Technology by
Michael D. Campbell and Jay H. Lehr, Hardcover, McGraw-Hill (1973)
This is the
classic text on water well drilling, design, completion, operation and
maintenance.It is difficult to find because it is now out of print after
12 printings, although most major libraries have it.The material covered
forms the basis of subsequent considerations in monitoring well design
and installation. It represents the state-of-the art during the period
from 1973 to the late 1980s. For immediate copies of this text, or specific

Geology [and
Environmental Impact] of Alternate Energy Resouces by Michael D. Campbell
(ed.), Houston Geological Society, (1977).
This text is
a comprehensive and timeless coverage of the non-oil & gas [alternate]
energy resources available in the South-Central United States.The book
covers uranium, lignite and geothermal energy resources, the exploration
and development techniques and procedures and the associated impacts of
each resource on the environment.The geographical area covered includes:
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. For additional information

of print in 1979.
Dense
Chlorinated Solvents in Porous and Fractured Media: Model Experiments
by Friedrich Schwille, James F. Pankow (Translator for English Language
Edition), Hardcover, List: $89.95
A classic in
the field of contaminant transport.The photographs are useful in evaluating
DNAPL movement in the subsurface.
Cadillas
Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc Reisner,
Revised, Paperback Edition, 582 pages, List: $14.95
This is not
a technical book, rather an examination of how important ground-water resources
are in the American West (at least how limited and fragile they are). Perhaps
most interesting is the description of how these valuable resources are
allocated; the dynamics of the process are enlightening.
