Title: Theory of ground water movement
Description: Theoretical analyses of a broad range of groundwater movement as well as some geo(soil)technical problems by one of the leading Soviet scientists on hydromechanics/mathematics. Also known as *Theory of motion of groundwater*. One of the founding classical textbooks on quantitative groundwater hydrology of the last century. Mathematically thorough, a good understanding as well as control of calculus, analysis, linear algebra, complex analysis are absolute necessary prerequisites. Originally developed in Russia in the late forties and fifties of the last century, by the russian author, the american hydrologist J.M. Roger DeWiest of Princeton University translated it into the english language, disclosing this eminent work to the non-russian world. The book is more or less outdated, because computeraided solutions and numerical maths, which are leading nowadays in modern groundwater hydrology, are, obviously, not treated. For understanding controlling processes on groundwater movement this text provides an excellent, though not easy to understand source. The book itself is quite rare and hard to get. No digital copies available on the net.
