Publisher's Synopsis
This Practical Manual on Groundwater Modelling presents the basic theories of groundwater flow and contaminant transport as applied to the construction of numerical models. It covers the following areas: • Basic principles of finite element methods as applied to groundwater problems (flow and transport) • General procedures for constructing models • Practical tracking methods for the solution of transport problems • Illustrative examples and case studies The manual is designed for practising hydrologists, environmental engineers and scientists who require a primer in groundwater modelling. It is also suitable for graduate students of groundwater hydrology.
