Leading engineers, water-well contractors, and educators consider Groundwater & Wells as the standard reference for groundwater evaluation and water-well design, installation, and maintenance. The book's practical approach provides readers, regardless of background, with a good understanding of groundwater chemistry, hydraulics, and physics, as well as the various technologies used in the development of groundwater resources. Recognized experts and practitioners from various areas of the groundwater industry contributed and reviewed chapters. The third edition includes new information on a hydrogeologic classification system for logging water-well boreholes, borehole geophysics, well design, treatment for mineral and biological plugging of wells, and artificial storage and recharge. Advances such as horizontal drilling and direct-push technologies for exploration are detailed. All chapters have been updated.
