Modeling has become an essential tool for the groundwater hydrologist. Where field data is limited, the analytic
element method (AEM) is rapidly becoming the modeling method of choice, especially given the availability of affordable
modeling software. Analytic Element Modeling of Groundwater Flow provides all the basics necessary to approach
AEM successfully, including a presentation of fundamental concepts and a thorough introduction to Dupuit-Forchheimer
flow. This book is unique in its emphasis on the actual use of analytic element models. Real-world examples complement
material presented in the text. An educational version of the analytic element program GFLOW is included to allow
the reader to reproduce the various solutions to groundwater flow problems discussed in the text. Researchers and
graduate students in groundwater hydrology, geology, and engineering will find this book an indispensable resource.
