Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph Series, Volume 13. The finite element method is now widely used to solve a variety of important problems in the field of groundwater hydrology. Thus a clear understanding of the method is essential to scientists and engineers working in this field. The goal of this book is to provide the reader with the basic skills needed to use the finite element method to solve "real-world" problems. Examples are used throughout the text to illustrate each step in the solution process.
