Water Wells and Pumps


Book Description

Design and Build Safe, Efficient Systems for Irrigation and Water Supply Water Wells and Pumps is a comprehensive guide to the essential theory and design of ground water structures, wells/tube wells, and pumps, with particular emphasis on problem solving and meeting the requirements of developing nations. It features thorough, up-to-date knowledge of the science and technology of water wells and pumps as well as allied appliances and applications. This authoritative desk reference outlines the construction, operation, and maintenance of water wells for irrigation and water supply. It also presents the development and testing of tube wells as well as a variety of pumps, both location-specific. Using SI units exclusively, Water Wells and Pumps features: Coverage of a variety of pumps, including those using nonconventional, environmentally friendly means Examinations of ground water recharge methods, well rehabilitation, and animal-powered water lifts Techno-economic evaluation of projects on wells and pumps References and problems at the end of each chapter for research and educational use Solutions for all problems related to designing secure, reliable systems • Ground water resources development and utilization • Hydraulics of wells • Open wells • Tube wells and their designs • Development and testing of tube wells • Rehabilitation of sick and failed tube wells • Man- and animal-powered water lifts and positive displacement pumps • Variable displacement pumps and accessories • Centrifugal pumps • Deep well turbine and submersible pumps • Propeller, mixed flow, and jet pumps • Applications of nonconventional energy sources in pumping

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 Pump Book


Book Description

"This book has been written as a guide to show how to design, install, and service a pumped water system with an emphasis on groundwater pumping systems. It is written for the entry level groundwater professional assuming the reader has a good understanding of basic high school math, a feel for 'how things work, ' but has no pump installation experience."--Page 5.

Laboratory Manual for Groundwater, Wells, and Pumps


Book Description

The over-exploitation of groundwater and marked changes in climate over recent decades has led to unacceptable declines in groundwater resources. Under the likely scarcity of available water resources in the near future, it is critical to quantify and manage the available water resources. With increasing demand for potable water for human consumption, agriculture, and industrial uses, the need to evaluate the groundwater development, management, and productivity of aquifers also increases. Laboratory Manual for Groundwater, Wells, and Pumps serves as a valuable resource and provides a multi-disciplinary overview for academics, administrators, scientists, policymakers, and professionals involved in managing sustainable groundwater development programs. It includes practical guidance on the measurement of groundwater flow, soil properties, aquifer properties, wells and their design, as well as the latest state-of-the-art information on pumps and their testing, and groundwater modeling. Features: Covers basics of groundwater engineering, advanced methodologies, and their applications and groundwater modeling Examines groundwater exploration, planning and designing, and methods for formulating strategies for sustainable management and development Serves as a reference for practitioners on practical applications and frequently occurring issues of groundwater investigations, development, and management.
