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.

Over recent years, important contributions on the topic of solving various aquifer problems have been presented in numerous papers and reports. The scattered and wide-ranging nature of this information has made finding solutions and best practices difficult. Comprehensive and self-contained, Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifers compiles the scattered literature on the topic into a single-source reference of the most up-to-date information in the field. Based on Dr. Batu's 20 years of practical experience tackling aquifer problems in a myriad of settings, the book addresses essentially all currently applied aquifer flow and contaminant transport solutions, combines theory with practical applications, covers both analytical and numerical solutions, and includes solutions to real world contaminant transport modeling scenarios. Batu approaches the subject from the practicing consultant's point of view and elucidates the difficulties real world professionals have faced in solving aquifer flow and contamination problems. The author simplifies the necessary theoretical background as much as possible and provides all derivational details of the theoretical background as worked examples. He uses this method to explore how the derivations were generated for those who need to know while allowing others to easily skip them and still benefit and learn from the practical applications of the mathematical approaches. Containing 51 tables and 323 figures, the book covers both the breadth and the depth of currently applied aquifer flow and contaminant transport modeling solutions.
