BOOKS and SOFTWARE for

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF GROUNDWATER SYSTEMS

You do not need to download all of these right now. It will probably be more convenient to do so as we begin to use them. I will send you here from the course units that require these materials.

Optional Texts:

      Applied Groundwater Modeling, Anderson & Woessner

      Introduction to Groundwater Modeling, Wang & Anderson

      Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling - Zheng & Bennett
