From best-selling and well-respected author Larry Mays, Ground and Surface Water Hydrology provides balanced coverage of surface and groundwater hydrology. The text includes current and emerging topics such as sustainability, climate change, GIS, and new models and data sources, so readers will gain a complete and current understanding of hydrology.

This book may be used for at least three different undergraduate courses including:
1. First course with an emphasis in surface water hydrology
2. First course with emphasis in groundwater hydrology
3. First course in hydrology with similar emphasis on ground and surface water hydrology.

This book is also a valuable reference for practicing civil engineers, hydrologists, environmental engineers, and geologists.
