Recenzje

`This book can be advised not only to those who are interested in groundwater flow and water quality but also to all who deal with the modelling of the air-soil interface, e.g. climate modelling, and the problems of the heterogeneity of media.'
R. Romanowicz, Hydrological Sciences Journal, No. 34 (4), August 1989
