Water Wells and Boreholes: Misstear/Water Wells and Boreholes

Water Wells and Boreholes provides the necessary scientific background together with practical advice using global case studies, in an accessible easy to use style suitable for both postgraduates/researchers and practitioners. The book begins with an introduction to the type and uses of water wells from water supply and irrigation through to groundwater remediation. It then covers well siting detailing how to source data from geophysical surveys, remote sensing etc. Well design is then summarised to ensure the well is stable and cost-effective. The book ends with three chapters covering well construction, well testing and well performance, maintenance and rehabilitation. Following On From The Successful Book Field Guide To Water Wells And Boreholes By Lewis Clark From 1988, This New Book Aims To Update And Expand The Content Of The Original Whilst Maintaining The Practical Emphasis. The Book Introduces Additional Theoretical Detail And Guidance Relating To The Siting, Design, Construction, Operation And Maintenance Of Water Wells And Boreholes. The Book's Main Focus Is On Water Wells That Are Used For Drinking, Industry, Agriculture Or Other Supply Purposes, Although Other Types Of Wells And Boreholes Are Also Covered, Including Boreholes For Monitoring Groundwater Level And Groundwater Quality.--jacket.
