Siting, Drilling, and Construction of Water Supply Wells, Second Edition


Book Description

"This book is intended for utilities and engineers who periodically design and construct water supply wells, as opposed to books designed for well drilling, voluminous well books that cover vast territory and details or highly theoretical books for course taught at the college level. This book is intended to help the reader understand what to expect from well drilling, including the equipment, terminology, and design concepts"--




Water Wells and Boreholes


Book Description

Water Wells and Boreholes provides the necessary scientificbackground together with practical advice using global casestudies, in an accessible easy to use style suitable for bothpostgraduates/researchers and practitioners. The book begins with an introduction to the type and uses ofwater wells from water supply and irrigation through to groundwaterremediation. It then covers well siting detailing how to sourcedata from geophysical surveys, remote sensing etc. Well design isthen summarised to ensure the well is stable and cost-effective.The book ends with three chapters covering well construction, welltesting and well performance, maintenance and rehabilitation.
