Summary: Use of Book for Litigation Support
Comment: My firm provides litigation support services to attorneys. We found Dr. Bedient's book to be very useful both as a reference and as a means of educating our clients who typically have limited technical capabilities in the area of groundwater hydrology. The book covers a variety of topics, all in sufficient detail, I believe. It is well written and organized, for easy reference. If the authors write a sequel, I suggest additional case studies that discuss some of the environmental "mysteries" out there!
Rating: 4
Summary: It works for me
Comment: I teach a graduate course in groundwater contaminant transport each year, and I have used several texts in the last 15 years. The latest edition of Bedient et al. is the best current overall reference for this course. Few texts mention characterization and remediation at the same level of detail, and this text has the most complete presentation of analytical transport solutions with problems that demonstrate their use. In my course I stress application of computer modeling tools (which I must provide separately), but this text provides a fine foundation to my students' physical and chemical understanding of the available models.

Summary: I switched from our own text to this more current version
Comment: I teach a course at the University of Oklahoma on the topic of this text. Actually, colleagues and I published a now outdated text on the same subject in the early 90s. I compared this text with other available texts and selected it to replace our own volume. While not perfect (what textbook is) I found this revised edition to be a valuable introduction to the subject. I liked the way it covers not only the fundamental processes governing fate and transport but also has sections discussing the applied aspects of the subject (remediation, characterization, etc.). The authors have taken great effort to make sure the updated version is very current -- I can especially speak to this in the specific areas of my research. Admittedly, I did supplement the text in certain areas, but I do this with every class I teach (and did it with our own text). And different professors supplement on different topics in keeping with their personal interests. Based on my experience with the text, and feedback from students, I definitely plan to use it again.
