General Hydrogeology

The Hidden Sea: Ground Water, Springs, and Wells


by Francis H. Chapelle
Geoscience Press

Written for the general reader, this book begins with useful and entertaining accounts of the history of mankind's awareness of ground water, starting with early biblical accounts. This is an excellent supplementary text for beginners but can add insights to the experts. William Alley, chief of the USGS Office of Ground Water, calls the book 'an extraordinarily fascinating and readable book about the mysteries and science of ground water for the hydrologist and non-hydrologist alike.' Contains case studies on TNT and jet fuel contamination.
