The second edition of Restoration of Contaminated Aquifers: Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Compounds incorporates the latest advances in in-situ remediation and natural attenuation, and maintains the comprehensive, accessible structure that made the first edition a classic.The new edition broadens the scope of the first by examining all forms of hydrocarbon contamination. The authors emphasize the remediation of Non-aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) and, Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs). They also address the growing role of natural attenuation. The second edition opens with an improved introduction. There are new sections on site characterization, remediation economics and site closure. And unlike other books on this subject, the new edition offers vital managerial and project management guidance, such as, initial project planning and assessment, a look at remediation economics, and a how-to on project closure and follow-up. Since its initial publication in 1991, Restoration of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Aquifers has been the established, invaluable reference for environmental professionals and regulators. Its sweeping, yet approachable format is inestimable in the field, in the lab, and in the policy-making arena. Restoration of Contaminated Aquifers: Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Compounds will continue to be the guide to the war against petroleum contamination..

New exploration tools and techniques for a breakthrough paradigm of regional groundwater occurrence

Fresh water is undoubtedly our most precious resource aside from the air we breathe, and the only commodity whose cost has steadily risen over time. At the same time, our understanding of the origins, pathways, and recharge mechanisms of the earth’s most valuable "economic" mineral--groundwater--remains in the nineteenth century. It is ironic that this scientific anachronism is contributing to a global shortage of available fresh water supplies while oil, gas, and mineral discoveries have proliferated, vastly increasing the world’s energy, precious metals, and industrial mineral reserves.

Modern Groundwater Exploration details applications and results of proven twenty-first- century technologies and geological concepts adapted from the oil, gas, and mineral exploration industries for evaluating, developing, and managing previously undiscovered, massive, sustainable groundwater resources. Unprecedented in both its scope and authority, this timely book presents:

• A new groundwater paradigm, coined Megawatershed, which accurately and comprehensively describes the earth’s natural complex groundwater systems
• Innovative exploration, drilling, and testing technologies that make major new ground-water sources more locatable and cost-effective to produce than ever before
• Actual case studies in which megawatershed methods have identified vast quantities of new water and brought new hope to previously arid and desperately water-short locales
• Chapters by former OECD DAC chairman Alexander R. Love, geopolitical analyst Dr. Ewan Anderson, and former director of the Trinidad and Tobago Water Resources Agency Dr. Utam Maharaj on the tremendous global implications of the megawater-shed paradigm. These experts explore the many beneficial applications of megawater-shed development, from macroeconomics to development of small island developing state (SIDS), and from critical environmental issues to water conflict resolution and the potential for a second "green revolution"

The world’s need for clean, dependable water is more urgent--and addressable--than ever before. Let Modern Groundwater Exploration introduce you to the authors’ revolutionary megawatershed paradigm, along with the latest concepts and technologies for accessing vast reservoirs of groundwater--still today’s safest, cleanest, and most plentiful water resource..

Growing demands for water in many parts of the nation are fueling the search for new approaches to sustainable water management, including how best to store water. Society has historically relied on dams and reservoirs, but problems such as high evaporation rates and a lack of suitable land for dam construction are driving interest in the prospect of storing water underground. Prospects for Managed Underground Storage of Recoverable Water assesses experience with managed underground water storage systems and identifies research priorities for development of future underground storage projects. The book concludes that managed underground storage should be considered a valuable tool in a water manager’s portfolio and recommends ways to address the unique challenges posed by managed underground storage systems through research and regulatory measures.

In recognition of the trend toward using numerical methods for analyzing aquifer test data, Aquifer Test Modeling delineates the application of numerical Laplace inversion analytical equations and numerical models and demonstrates the use of public domain software. Written by a leading expert with over fifty years of experience, this highly practical text provides a thorough grounding in the terms and methods employed in aquifer test modeling, while also establishing a protocol for organizing and simplifying conceptual model definition and data analysis.

Using graphs, tables, and sample datasets to enhance understanding, the author delineates the five major steps involved in the aquifer test modeling process. He discusses the importance of the conceptual model definition as a framework for organizing, simplifying, and idealizing information. The chapters cover the selection of appropriate aquifer test mathematical model equations compatible with previously defined conceptual models and highlight the importance of reviewing the mathematical assumption and the adjustment of data for any departures. They also explain format selection, technique selection, well function or drawdown calculation, and calibration.

The book provides five sample data sets to assist the reader in becoming familiar with WTAQ and MODFLOW aquifer test modeling input and output data file contents with confined nonleaky and unconfined aquifer conditions. It includes conceptual models consisting of abbreviated descriptions of aquifer test facilities, aquifer test data, and aquifer parameter values together with selected sample file sets. These are just a few of the features that make the book a valuable tool for estimating the supply and contamination characteristics of aquifers. .

The slug test is currently the most common method for the in situ estimation of hydraulic conductivity at sites of suspected groundwater contamination. However, inappropriate procedures in one or more phases of a slug test can introduce considerable error into the resulting parameter estimates. This book remedies this problem by answering virtually every question regarding the design, performance, and analysis of slug tests. This is the first book to provide detailed information on the practical aspects of the methodology of slug tests. All major analysis methods are described in The Design, Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests. Each analysis method is outlined in a step-by-step manner and illustrated with a field example. The major practical issues related to the field application of each technique are also discussed. This book will help the reader get more reliable parameter estimates from slug tests and increase the utility of slug test data..

FRACTURED AQUIFERS presents all current theories about flow to discharge wells in fractured water bearing formations. The basis of the book is the methods developed by the oil industry since the 1960s, and the oil reservoir notation is replaced by aquifer notation. Thus, the book bridges the gap between the oil and water industries and makes it easy for ground water professionals to use. It addresses universities, private companies and agencies working with evaluation of hydraulic properties of fractured aquifers.

Prepared as a textbook and a reference book, FRACTURED AQUIFERS presents solutions and methods of interpretation for all types of fracture flow, including vertical and horizontal fractures and dual-porosity fracture systems. The book includes numerous worked through examples of drawdown data analysis in limestone, sandstone and crystalline rock formations. Correct analysis of data requires a diagnostic phase using mathematical tools that the book describes in detail.

The book includes a problem section for use in classrooms or for self-study. Some previously unpublished solutions are presented, including analytical methods for analyzing well field history allowing for variable discharge rates.

The data presented gives benefit to the book, since such data is usually difficult to find..
