Water Wells and Boreholes cover

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.

"This book is important. There are now many books on hydrogeology and groundwater, but there are very few that deal with the most essential fundamental part of hydrogeology. Whether you work in the field, lab or office, you need to know how to get into the subsurface, and how to make observations and take measurements that enable an understanding of the characteristics of the groundwater flow and bio-chemical system in the rocks and soils." (David Ball, Irish Groundwater Newsletter, Issue 55, May 2017)

"An excellent resource for the geologist-in-training as well as the seasoned groundwater professional." (Michael Schnieders, Groundwater, April 2018)
