Hydrogeology

Groundwater is a Geofluid.  Geofluids are an integral part of all processes that take place in or on the earth’s crust. Globally, groundwater has strategic value, where contests are not uncommon, often kept below the political horizon.

The posts here outline the science of aquifers, groundwater movement, how groundwater interacts with surface water, water extraction-pumping, and contamination.

Model are representational descriptions are written in different languages - diagrammatic, descriptive, mathematical, and conceptual. They commonly contain variables and dimensionless quantities that permit quantitative analysis of the physical systems the models represent.
