10 July 2018 Off By The Engineering CommunityHydrogeology — Bernward Hölting & Wilhelm G. Coldewey
Hydrogeology by Bernward Hölting and Wilhelm G. Coldewey is a well-regarded technical textbook that delivers a complete and structured introduction to hydrogeology, with a clear focus on both scientific foundations and real engineering applications. Originally published in German as Hydrogeologie and later translated into English, this work has become a reliable reference for professionals involved in groundwater development, exploitation, and protection.
The book stands out for its balanced coverage of the groundwater system, combining geology and fluid flow concepts with the practical needs of hydrogeological studies. It offers strong technical value for readers who work with groundwater resources in fields such as water supply, environmental engineering, geotechnical design, and site investigation. In addition, it provides clear insights into groundwater reservoirs, flow dynamics, and the physical and chemical behavior of groundwater—topics that are essential for developing sound engineering judgement in water-related projects.
A major advantage of this publication is its consistent and professional presentation style, including the use of internationally accepted SI units and standard formula symbols, making it easier to apply the material in engineering calculations and technical reporting.
Overall, Hydrogeology remains a strong reference for advanced students and practitioners who want a technically solid and professionally relevant textbook that connects theory with groundwater engineering practice.
