Features: The book consists of fifteen chapters, with the main content including: Basic knowledge of the Earth; Rocks; Geological Structures; Natural (Physical) Geological Processes; An Overview of Groundwater; Groundwater Movement and Dynamics; Groundwater Occurrence and Distribution; Groundwater Resource Assessment; Engineering Geological Studies of Dams; Engineering Geological Studies of Slopes; Engineering Geological Studies of Canals; Engineering Geological Studies of Tunnels; Engineering Geological Studies of Reservoirs; Environmental Geological Issues; Engineering Geological Survey for Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects. To help students grasp the main content of each chapter, a review and reference outline is provided for each chapter for extracurricular review. At the end of the book, a "Common Terms in Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology" (Chinese-English) is compiled as an appendix for student reference. Additionally, to enhance practical teaching, an "Exercise and Homework Guide for Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology" has been adapted as a supplementary textbook. This guide, based on the original textbook, includes extracurricular assignments, exercises, and field geological teaching practices. This book can serve as a textbook for majors such as farmland water conservancy engineering, hydraulic structures, water conservancy construction, water resources, river regulation, and sediment control within water conservancy and hydropower systems. It is also suitable for geological majors (specializing in engineering geology and hydrogeology) in universities and secondary vocational schools (water conservancy and hydropower categories) as well as for engineering technicians.
