Books
SSP&A recommends the following books:
This text of this free eBook, authored by Dr. Neven Kresic, is provided as a technically accessible resource for an undergraduate level academic course in hydrogeology (also known as groundwater hydrology, geohydrology, and groundwater engineering) and also as a self-study guide for practitioners or those newer to the field.
This book was written by Dr. Chunmiao Zheng, Chair Professor and Vice President at the Eastern Institute of Technology in Ningbo, China, and Mr. Gordon Bennett - both former SSP&A senior associates. This resource brings together, in a single volume, both the theoretical and practical aspects of contaminant transport modeling.
Environmental and Water Resource Solutions
S.S. Papadopulos & Associates is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm focused on delivering solutions for groundwater and hydrogeology, environmental engineering, contaminant studies, remediation, geochemistry, and surface-water hydrology.
