Book Description
Although flow nets can be readily constructed using computer software, graphical construction using pencil and paper remains an essential skill that every groundwater hydrologist should possess. This book explains graphical construction of groundwater flow nets and provides exercises and videos links to help readers gain a deeper and intuitive understanding of groundwater flow.
A groundwater flow net is, in effect, a graphical solution of the groundwater flow equation. Although the mathematical requirement for this book is no more than basic algebra, the practice of flow net construction will lead to an intuitive understanding that enhances the learning of more advanced and quantitative aspects of groundwater theory.
To provide additional practice in visualizing flow nets, this book uses the online computer software, TopoDrive, which simulates groundwater flow in a topographically-driven flow system.
