In recent years, the focus in groundwater studies has expanded to also include groundwater contamination and
remediation studies as a part of resource evaluations. While there are other books on the subject, Field
Hydrogeology-A Guide for Site Investigations and Report Preparation provides the first integrated presentation
of the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) standards, US Geological Survey (USGS), and US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) field techniques. It also includes access to a Web site that contains
software for designing aquifer tests and aquifer-recharge experiments.
Written by an author with more than 40 years of experience in hydrology and geology, this reference treats the subject from a field standpoint. Useful as a field guide and a textbook, it contains standard methods for planning and undertaking hydrogeologic investigations. It incorporates case studies, contains a glossary of field-hydrogeology technical terms, and provides a detailed list of ASTM standards and key hydrologic Web sites.
The guide is based on ASTM standards, EPA, and US Department of Interior (DOI) field technical manuals.
The text covers hydrogeologic fundamentals, conceptual models, planning an investigation, surface investigations,
subsurface investigations, field inventory, stream flow measurements, water quality measurements, and report
preparation. It includes more recent groundwater evaluation techniques such as tracing and isotope techniques.
Field Hydrogeology will allow students and seasoned professionals to have a vast array of clearly written descriptive
materials and an extensive source of references available at their fingertips.
