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.




Siting, Drilling, and Construction of Water Supply Wells


Book Description

This illustrated guide to drilling wells completely covers recent issues with siting and site assessments for wells, methods for drilling, water quality concerns, and regulatory issues. It is useful to civil engineers, public utility officials, water plant operators, hydrogeologists new to the field, and others.













Water Well Drilling Methods


Book Description

This special re-print edition of the US Dept. of Interior's book "Well Drilling Methods" is a guide to drilling and boring water boring. Written in 1911, this classic text provides insight into everything a person would wish to know about drilling their own well on a farm, homestead, remote property or elsewhere utilizing simple well boring equipment and old fashioned well drilling techniques. Included are details on finding ideal locations for boring water wells and a wide range of methods for drilling or driving wells, encasing them and much more. An insightful book on the subject that will be of interest to farmers, homesteaders, those living off the grid and others. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
