Groundwater Science 3rd Edition

Groundwater Science, 3rd Edition by Charles R. Fitts is an authoritative, accessible guide for anyone working with groundwater — from students and educators to hydrogeologists, engineers, and water-resource managers. This updated edition blends clear theory with practical application, making complex topics like aquifer hydraulics, Darcy’s law, groundwater flow, contaminant transport, and recharge processes easy to understand and immediately useful in the field.

You’ll find concise explanations, quantitative tools, and illustrative figures that illuminate core concepts in hydrogeology and groundwater modeling. The text bridges fundamentals and modern practice, covering groundwater chemistry, well hydraulics, monitoring strategies, and sustainable management approaches that address both urban and rural water challenges.

Designed for global relevance, this edition speaks to regional groundwater issues across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia — from coastal aquifers and fractured-rock systems to arid-zone recharge and vulnerable shallow groundwater. Practitioners will appreciate the focus on real-world problem solving: evaluating contamination, designing monitoring networks, estimating sustainable yield, and applying numerical models for decision-making.

If you need a reliable reference that balances rigor with readability, this edition delivers. It’s an ideal classroom textbook and an essential desk reference for consulting professionals and resource managers tackling water-supply security, remediation, and climate-informed groundwater planning.
