Jozsef Toth

Opis

A thorough overview of gravity-driven groundwater flow, illustrated with practical examples, from one of the founding fathers of the field.

Recenzje

'Tóth describes flow systems from across the world, the variation in hydraulic head with depth and stratigraphy and how flow-system theory is used to explain ore deposits and locate potential repository rocks for nuclear waste disposal.' Environmental and Engineering Geoscience
