Manual of Applied Field Hydrogeology
by: Willis D.Weight
Abstract: This how-to, ready-to-use sourcebook brings hydrogeologists (who study the abundance and distribution of groundwater), environmental engineers, and others a real-world look at the problems and solutions of groundwater management and assessment. Covers well-building tips and tricks; common causes of on-site accidents; how to design a pumping test-single well versus multiple-well tests; taking a groundwater sample; site clean-up; and more.
