Water Wells: Implementation, Maintenance and Restoration.

Michel Detay (1997)

This book presents the basic concepts of hydrogeology, explaining the fundamentals of subsurface hydraulics. It also introduces the main exploration methods used in hydrogeology, the criteria for developing groundwater resources, and the main principles of water chemistry. Detailed descriptions of the various drilling techniques are given, and each stage in the design and construction of water wells is set out. Numerous practical examples are included. The book also describes database management tools that can be used to monitor and store information. Adopting a practical approach, Water Wells emphasizes field-based trials and effective implementation.
