About this title

Synopsis

An integrated coverage of the subjects of surface, subsurface, and contaminant hydrology. The author presents the fundamental concepts of physical and contaminant hydrology of watersheds, rivers, lakes, soils, and aquifers in an easy and accessible manner to the environmental professional.

Prepares the reader to analyze today's environmental problems.

Many practical examples and solved problems illustrate the concepts. This edition includes clear presentation of concepts, consistent notation, 124 solved examples, 187 proposed problems, 152 illustrations, 71 tables, 46 short computer programs in MAPLE, answers to problems, extensive bibliography.

State of the art research on groundwater and contaminant transport modeling is explained in a clear fashion.

Recent research developments in nonlinear hydrologic science and simulation are included in this new edition.

New solutions of nonlinear infiltration are presented with simple numerical applications.

New developments in analytical decomposition are presented as simple and practical means to complex nonlinear hydrologic problems, such as regional groundwater flow modeling in homogeneous or heterogeneous media, regular or irregularly-shaped domains, steady or transient problems, multiple pumping wells, and nonlinear flow.

125 solved examples, 70 computer programs, 146 proposed problems, 17 illustrations, 118computer graphs, answers to problems, detailed bibliography.

or contaminant transport, new applications to the simulation of nonlinear decay, nonlinear sorption, and unsaturated-saturated zones contaminant propagation are presented along with simple programs.

INDEPENDENT REVIEWS

"The author should be congratulated for putting for the first time such diverse set of topics into one coherent text, successfully linking hydrological sciences and environmental protection." Journal of Hydrology

"The presentations are clear and concise and the illustrative examples are well chosen and complement the text." Transactions, American Geophysical Union

"... an important contribution to link environmental issues and hydrological sciences." Hydrological Sciences Journal

"The chapter topics and organization of the book are presented in excellent format...The figure, table, paragraph, and chapter layouts are easily followed by the reader..." Journal of the American Water Resources Association

"... a novelty is introduced by presenting the method of decomposition as a new analytical technique for nonlinear problems...Modern concepts of scale-dependent dispersion are also introduced... recommend this book for its clear presentation of concepts and illustrative examples, and for its emphasis on environmental problems." Mathematical Geology

"In addition to students, this book should prove useful to professional consulting engineers, geologists, and environmental engineers ... due to its comprehensive coverage... to chemical engineers involved with waste disposal or site remediation, or who deal with water as an energy carrier..." Chemical Engineering progress

"... presents concepts in an easy and accessible manner to the environmental professional... Many practical examples and solved problems illustrate the concepts..." Environmental Geology

"The author...emphasizes clarity over comprehensiveness..." Groundwater

About the Author

Dr. Sergio E. Serrano received his Ph.D. degree at the University of Waterloo (Canada). He is a full professor of engineering science and applied mathematics at a Research I university in the U. S. For the past thirty years, he has taught in several universities in the United States, Canada, Colombia, Spain, and China. He has over one hundred research publications in international science, engineering, and mathematics journals. He is also the author of nine books in environmental engineering, statistics, philosophy, and psychology. He has been an associate editor of the Water Science and Technology Library and the ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering. Dr. Serrano pioneered the development of several new solutions of nonlinear equations in surface, subsurface, and contaminant hydrology. Dr. Serrano has been awarded four times with nationally-competitive research grants by the National Science Foundation, Washington, DC.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
