Water Wells and Boreholes focuses on wells that are used for drinking,
industry, agriculture or other supply purposes. Other types of wells and
boreholes are also covered, including boreholes for monitoring
groundwater level and groundwater quality. This fully revised second
edition updates and expands the content of the original book whilst
maintaining its practical emphasis. The book follows a life-cycle
approach to water wells, from identifying a suitable well site through
to successful implementation, operation and maintenance of the well, to
its eventual decommissioning.
Completely revised and updated throughout, Water Wells and Boreholes,
Second edition, is the ideal reference for final-year undergraduate
students in geology and civil engineering; graduate students in
hydrogeology, civil engineering and environmental sciences; research
students who use well data in their research; professionals in
hydrogeology, water engineering, environmental engineering and
geotechnical engineering; and aid workers and others involved in well
projects.
