Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifers" by Dr. Batu is a user-friendly compendium unraveling the complexities of analytical and numerical ground water modeling.The power of this book is contained in two attributes: (1) applied examples illustrating nearly each mathematical approach and (2) the optional derivational details for those who thrive on the theoretical backgrounds of those derivations.
Dr. Batu balances theory with application in this book. Although his recent publication, Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis (Wiley & Sons, 1998) is considered by many to be the "bible" of aquifer hydraulics, the derivations were detailed to the point of exhaustion. This 2005 edition makes the derivations not only understandable but the cases study examples inspire interest to learn them.
Another particular strength of this book is Dr. Batu's ability to summarize and condense the subject matter without the need for secondary references. The Table of Contents is seventeen pages long illustrating that the book contains nearly all - if not all - hydraulic applications to ground water flow and solute transport modeling. However the book not unmanageable in size and detail, in fact it is user-friendly and well organized coupled with motivating the reader to LEARN how to apply the theorical background, not just follow the derivation for theory's sake. Congratulations Dr. Batu on successfully developing the real aquifer hydraulics bible in this edition.
