1: A MUST-HAVE for the practicing hydrogeologist
Slug-testing is the quickest and most cost-effective way of characterizing aquifer characteristics, and this book straightforwardly and concisely discusses the theory, performance, and analysis of the test methods most commonly used today. Planning of multi-test programs is also discussed, as are the limitations of each method and of slug testing in general. Whether in the fields of academia, consulting, planning, or exploration, in the public, private, or government sectors, this book is sine qua non for the practicing hydrogeologist.

2: A useful reference for the practicing hydrogeologist
The Design, Performance, and Analysis of Slug Tests is a text which walks the reader through all the necessary steps for obtaining information about the transmissive nature of formations through slug testing. Butler gives not only a theoretical understanding of the slug test in this book, but he also gives many caveats and pitfalls which may be encountered when using the method. Butler explains to the reader which field methods and analysis methods are best suited for various situations. He also gives special reccomendations for formations of high and low hydraulic conductivity. This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover, but is an excellent reference for the field hydrogeologist. The topic is limited in scope - a fact which allows the coverage of the material to be superb.
