"The writing and presentation is clear and economical. The figures have a crisp and uncluttered look...a fine textbook."
-Roger Beckie, Univ. British Columbia, for VADOSE ZONE JOURNAL, 2003
"Groundwater Science would serve well as the text for an introductory groundwater course...concise, well-written, and well-illustrated..."
-Sean McKenna, Sandia Nat'l. Labs, for EOS TRANSACTIONS, July 2003
"I strongly endorse this book for those entering the world of groundwater science for the first time."
-David Sharpe, Geological Survey of Canada, for
EPISODES, December 2002
"The writing is clear and accurate without being wordy... figures, references, and indexing are also well done... Fitts' book succeeds."
-Laura Toran, for GROUND WATER, 2003
