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 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.










The Field Guide to Water Wells and Boreholes


Book Description

This field handbook offers a practical introduction to the design and construction of boreholes and wells for practicing professionals involved in planning and implementing water drilling projects. Readers are led step by step from the design stages of a project, through the choice of appropriate construction materials and drilling processes, to the procedures for sampling and well logging. Factors affecting performance are also discussed, as well as requirements for successful well development, testing and maintenance. Written in a clear, straightforward style, the guide is filled with sound advice, diagrams and examples.







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"--
