E-Book Overview
The new edition of a bestseller, Water Flows in Soils bridges the fields of soil physics-where descriptions of water flow tend to be microscopic- and hydrology - where they tend to be macroscopic. This work conveys the fundamental concepts of water flow in soils with clear and essentially nonmathematical explanations. The author elegantly elucidates the basic and advanced principles of water movement in soils. More than 750 figures, tables, and equations provide a concrete image of the water flow phenomena in soils. Tightly focused and packed with examples, the book is a practical resource for graduate students of agriculture and environmental engineering, and researchers in soil physics.
