Environmental Isotopes: in Hydrogeology


by Ian D. Clark and Peter Fritz
Lewis Publishers

This bright new work was created by two Canadian scientists and presented in college textbook format for graduate level studies. Learn more about the use of isotopes to study recharge processes, ground water dating, rock-water interaction, origin of salinity, contamination by landfills, agricultural sources, and solvents. Each chapter contains work problems. Field sampling methods, the carbon cycle, precipitation, deuterium and oxygen-18, carbonate dissolution, and much, much more are included in this valuable new book.

Ground Water Geochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications to Contamination


by William J. Deutsch
CRC Press

This text is required reading for our two geochemistry courses, and written by our senior geochemistry instructor, Bill Deutsch. Learn the role that geochemistry plays in remediation. Avoid common mistakes in remedial design. The text begins with the fundamentals and moves to contaminant mobility, geochemical models, remediation of metals, sampling considerations, Eh and pH concerns, and the chemistry of organic pollution. Our top pick for a practical geochemistry text!

Guidelines for the Construction of Vertical Boreholes for Closed Loop Heat Pump Systems


Edited by Kevin McCray, NGWA

These new technical guidelines were prepared with funding provided by the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium Inc. under a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. Technical specifications and procedures are carefully spelled out on loop field design, test holes, borehole construction, piping, borehole grouting, heat transfer fluids, and decommissioning. This popular guide is already in its second printing, and contains glossary and industry contacts.

Applied Chemical and Isotopic Ground Water Hydrology

by Emanuel Mazor
John Wiley & Sons

This book focuses on physical, chemical, and isotopic water properties and their variations in time. Addressed are the planning, field measurement, and observations of hydrochemical field studies as they relate to an understanding of water systems. With the emphasis on the processing of data, it explains how hydrochemists collect samples for laboratory analysis, formulate conceptual and mathematical models, and make recommendations.

Study and Interpretation of the Chemical Characteristics of Natural Water, 3rd edition

by John D. Hem,
USGS

This book is an introduction to low-temperature aqueous geochemistry, and applied and theoretical water chemistry. In addition, it serves as an aid to hydrologists and hydrogeologists who may need to evaluate water quality and incorporate water chemistry into their investigations of water resources.
