Softcover

ISBN 10: 0133690830 ISBN 13: 9780133690835

Publisher: Pearson Technology Group, 2008

Using a quantitative modeling approach, this volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the movement of water in the unsaturated zone (and associated transport phenomena) – the pathway of many contaminants to the saturated zone where much of the world's potable water is stored. It is the first book to combine research and knowledge on this subject from a wide variety of disciplines into a single source directed toward engineering and environmental training and applications. Deals with contaminant and heat transport in the unsaturated zone; includes a description of soils and their properties and unsaturated soil hydraulic properties; describes unsaturated zone processes; and thoroughly explores numerical modeling and uncertainty in modeling. A text for students in engineering and environmental science, and a reference for practicing engineers and scientists involved in the analysis of unsaturated zone contaminant problems.

Synopsis:

Using a quantitative modeling approach, this volume offers an exploration of the movement of water in the unsaturated zone (and associated transport phenomena) the pathway of many contaminants to the saturated zone where much of the world's potable water is stored. The text deals with contaminant and heat transport in the unsaturated zone and includes a description of soils and their properties as well as unsaturated soil hydraulic properties. It also describes unsaturated zone processes and explores numerical modeling and uncertainty in modeling.
