Mathematical modeling of groundwater pollution

Groundwater is one of the most important resources in the world. This book covers all main aspects of the latest developments in the field of groundwater quality modeling. The protection and improvement of ground-water is addressed by developing applicable methodologies with emphasis on numerical techniques. Besides introducing basic concepts, theories, methods and applications, special attentions are paid to three-dimensional models, model selection criteria, tracer test design, dispersion parameter identification, and reliability analysis. This book can be used as a textbook at the graduate level or as a reference book for hydro-geologists, environmental engineers, petroleum engineers, and geochemists. It also appeals to applied mathematicians.
