Dream-Analytical Ground Water Flow Programs

Valuable for consultants and regulators

Valuable for consultants and regulators...Dream is a useful tool for basic field work, including the first-cut evaluation of remediation design. Ground water professionals will find Dream to be ideal for estimating actual flow conditions when information on aquifer properties is limited. Flow nets, streamline plots, and capture zone maps are easily produced by contouring Dream''s output files. Maps of head, drawdown, and ground water velocity are equally simple to create. These provide an uncomplicated method for estimating both direction and magnitude of flow, and the areal extent of the well''s influence. This must-have volume is valuable for hydrologists, regulators, ground water professionals, students, professors, and consultants. This work is a valuable teaching tool for principles of subsurface hydrology. It is easy-to-use and illustrates hydrologic concepts, pumping schemes, remediation schemes, etc. The importance of fundamental aquifer properties can be easily explored, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
