Water Wells and Boreholes
Ebook (PDF Format)
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.

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. The potential water well owner requires that: the well (or group of wells) should have sufficient yield to meet demand; the water quality should be fit for the particular purpose; the well should be reliable, requiring little maintenance; the well should be durable, with a design life suited to its purpose; the construction and operating costs should not be excessive; the well should not impact unacceptably on neighbouring wells or on the environment. These principles underpin the guidance given throughout this text. The book follows a 'life-cycle' approach to water wells, from identifying a suitable well site through to the successful implementation, operation and maintenance of the well, to its eventual decommissioning. The book will be of interest to final-year undergraduate students in geology and civil engineering; graduate students in hydrogeology, groundwater engineering, civil engineering and environmental sciences; research students who are involved in using data from wells as part of their research; professionals in hydrogeology, water engineering, environmental engineering and geotechnical engineering and aid workers and others involved in well projects.

Über den Autor
Between them, the three authors (Bruce Misstear, David Banks, Lewis Clark)have worked extensively on groundwater projects in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia, and this international experience is reflected in the text and illustrations of this new book on Water Wells and Boreholes. Regarding previous publications, in brief, the three authors have published widely on issues ranging from well design and testing, to the hydrogeology of hard-rock aquifers, to groundwater contamination investigation.
