Hydrogeologists are often tasked with solving practical problems such as who caused this contamination and how it can be remediated efficiently. This book includes ten, condensed case studies that demonstrate the use of basic problem-solving tools often learnt as undergraduates plus more specialized techniques taught in grad school and through experience. Together these help us to achieve a better understanding of the hydrogeology at a site than if we had just used the basics. These case studies include high resolution techniques such as passive soil gas (PSG) surveys, membrane interface probe (MIP), hydraulic profiling tool (HPT) and data loggers; high tech methods such as the use of isotopes in water and contaminants, and classical techniques such as using an excavator or a drill rig. With a toolbox full of techniques, hydrogeologists are better able to develop robust conceptual site models that are convincing and lead to more efficient solutions.
