Mark Bakker is a groundwater engineer and a professor at the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of the Delft University of Technology. He has taught groundwater and Python classes for more than two decades and is the originator and co-developer of many Python-based open-source modeling tools, including Timml, Ttim, Pastas, and Flopy.

Vincent Post is a hydrogeologist with research interests in coastal hydrogeology and groundwater quality. After a career in academia and research he founded Edinsi Groundwater in 2021. Python has become indispensable in his everyday professional life, and he actively promotes its use in hydrogeology by teaching courses and developing Python-based tools.

Klappentext

This book covers the theoretical aspects of mathematical groundwater models. It is aimed at advanced (under)graduate university students, as well as practicing hydrogeologists. The focus is on the fundamentals of the quantitative methods used to simulate, understand, and investigate groundwater systems.
