Field Hydrogeology: A Guide for Site Investigations and Report Preparation, Second Edition de John E. Moore

Field Hydrogeology: A Guide for Site Investigations and Report Preparation, Second Edition

Autor John E. Moore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mar 2017

Nivel de studiu: Licență, Master și Referință profesională.

Recomandăm Field Hydrogeology ca pe un instrument de lucru esențial pentru cei care activează în geologia aplicată și managementul resurselor de apă. Scrisă de John E. Moore, un specialist cu o carieră de peste jumătate de secol, această a doua ediție se remarcă prin abordarea pragmatică, de teren, fiind o resursă rară care integrează armonios standardele ASTM cu protocoalele agențiilor americane EPA și USGS.

Ne-a atras atenția rigoarea cu care este structurat procesul de investigație: volumul ghidează cititorul de la faza de planificare și modele conceptuale, prin metode de investigare de suprafață și subsol, până la măsurători de debit și calitate a apei. Noua ediție extinde orizontul tehnic prin capitole dedicate siguranței pe teren și reglementărilor federale, incluzând totodată studii de caz internaționale și acces la software-ul THEIS pentru modelarea testelor de acvifer.

Ca alternativă la Field Methods for Geologists and Hydrogeologists pentru cursurile de hidrogeologie practică, lucrarea de față are avantajul unei integrări stricte cu standardele oficiale de testare, oferind un cadru normativ pe care alte manuale îl tratează doar tangențial. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Basic Hydrogeologic Methods, care pune accent pe calculul matematic manual, volumul lui Moore face tranziția către instrumente digitale moderne. Deși autorul a explorat în alte lucrări teme diverse, de la ghiduri recreative precum A Fisherman's Guide to Selected Lakes of Washington's Kitsap Peninsula Area până la scrieri teologice, expertiza sa tehnică rămâne ancorată în rigoarea științifică a CRC Press.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă pentru studenții la geologie și profesioniștii de mediu care au nevoie de un protocol clar pentru investigațiile de sit. Cititorul câștigă acces la metode standardizate de colectare a datelor și la un model computerizat pentru teste de acvifer, asigurând astfel acuratețea tehnică necesară în pregătirea rapoartelor profesionale de hidrogeologie.

Despre autor

John E. Moore este un hidrolog și geolog cu o experiență vastă, de peste 50 de ani, în domeniu. Recunoscut pentru capacitatea sa de a sintetiza proceduri complexe de teren în ghiduri accesibile, Moore a lucrat extensiv cu standardele de investigație americane. Dincolo de cariera sa academică și tehnică, autorul a publicat lucrări variate, de la ghiduri de pescuit specifice regiunii Washington până la studii doctrinare, însă contribuția sa majoră rămâne în domeniul resurselor de apă, unde este considerat o autoritate în metodologiile de investigare a acviferelor.

Recenzii

Praise for the First Edition
... fills a great need to beginning hydrologists and hydrogeologists as a guide for site investigations and report preparation. It ... also contains a very interesting and important section on rules for professional conduct. ... It is a particularly good reference as the author, a geologist, identifies the important role that geologists play in the study of the source, occurrence, movement, quality, and quantity of groundwater. There [is] an excellent outline for the preparation of hydrogeologic reports. The last chapter provides four excellent case histories as good examples for a new hydrogeologist on his first assignment.
—P.E. LaMoreaux, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Geology (2003) 44:876

Descriere

In recent years, the focus in hydrogeologic investigations has expanded to include aquifer sustainability as 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 website containing software for designing aquifer tests and aquifer-recharge experiments.

Written by an author with more than 50 years of experience in hydrology and geology, this reference treats the subject from a field standpoint. Useful as a field guide or 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 as well as EPA and US Department of Interior 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. This revised and updated Second Edition also includes new material on the history of hydrogeology, field safety, aquifers, groundwater quality, hydrogeologic maps, and federal regulations.

It gives students and seasoned professionals a vast array of clearly written descriptive materials and an extensive source of references available at their fingertips. What's New in This Second Edition: New chapter on the history of hydrogeologyNew chapter on groundwater development and management, including US federal regulations and transboundary aquifersNew material on field safety, groundwater quality and testing, and construction of hydrogeologic cross section and maps New international case studiesNew THEIS computer model to design aquifer testsUpdated information on latest principles and techniques
