From the reviews: The authors describe project performance, methods for field study of rocks, soils, and outcrops and how to evaluate impacts of air pollution and water resources systems. Furthermore, they develop guidelines for graphic and text presentation of results of studies and describe superficial rock characteristics and subsurface geological mapping techniques. Field Methods for Geologists and Hydrologists ... Read morecovers hydrogeologic methods, groundwater monitoring systems, contamination and waste management and discusses groundwater flow in fractured and granular aquifers, including a special reference to karstic aquifers. In addition, international waste management rules and regulations are enumerated. Making this a comprehensive resource, a glossary is provided of geological and hydrogeological terms, as well as a standard terminology for soils, rocks, and contained fluids.  "...is a "must" for serious field novices, and for seasoned middle-career and senior practitioners in hydrogeology, mainly those people who answer a calling to offer honest and accurate hydrogeological approximations and findings. Any engineering geologist or groundwater geologist who claims capability as a "Hydrogeologist" should own this book and submit it to highlighting and page tabbing. Of course, the same goes for those who practice in karst terranes, as author LaMoreaux is one of the pioneers in this field, worldwide..." (Allen W. Hatheway) "The authors describe project performance, methods for field study of rocks, soils, and outcrops and evaluate impacts of air pollution and water resources systems. … This book is designed for scientists and engineers who carry out geological and hydrogeological projects and reports. It will be very helpful for graduate and undergraduate students of geological and environmental institutes as well as for professional geologists, hydrogeologists and project managers." (Fakhry A.
