"Principles of Contaminant Hydrogeology" presents a practical approach to completing contaminant hydrogeologic investigations by stressing the basics of collecting data that can withstand regulatory scrutiny and get your client to remediation. The book takes you step by step through the different parts of an investigation and is based on "real world" problems, including client-consultant-regulator interaction, budgets, ethics, and data extrapolation for solving problems. Concepts such as field logistics, drilling techniques, sampling protocols, contaminant movement, and remediation are introduced. Regulatory personnel; hydrogeological consultants; drilling contractors, remediation contractors; university instructors teaching geology, engineering, or chemistry courses; and students will benefit from the wealth of information the book provides.
