Groundwater Engineering

Integrating information from several areas of engineering geology, hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, this book mainly covers the general field of groundwater from an engineering perspective. It covers geological engineering as well as hydrogeological and environmental geological problems caused by groundwater engineering. It includes the calculation of hydraulic parameters, methods of well-point dewatering, the engineering aspects of dewatering in deep foundation pits, groundwater monitoring and application of numerical simulation in engineering dewatering and geological engineering problems caused by dewatering. Based on up-to-date literature it describes recent developments and presents several case studies. It is an essential handy reference source for industrial and academic researchers working in the groundwater field and can also serve as a lecture-based course designed to provide both graduate and senior undergraduate students with fundamental information and practical tools they will need to work in the groundwater engineering field or to conduct related research.§
