Field Methods for Geologists and Hydrogeologists

Describes project performance, methods for field study of rocks, soils, and outcrops and how to evaluate impacts of air pollution and water resources systems. The text covers hydrogeologic methods, groundwater monitoring systems, contamination and waste management and discusses groundwater flow in fractured and granular aquifers, including a special reference to karstic aquifers.
