The Second Edition of Hydrogeology Field Manual provides the latest information on applied applications in groundwater sampling and water-quality assessment, aquifer characterization, contamination issues, karst applications, and more. The book includes actual procedures, real-world decisions, and many examples and case studies to help you understand the occurrence and movement of groundwater in a variety of geologic settings.

Features:

• Advice on how to collect hydrogeologic field data
• Guidance on drilling methods, safety, and work with drilling contractors
• A practical description of slug testing
• Effective site characterization methods
• Expert advice on monitoring-well design
• Over 250 skills-building illustrations and photos
• Two new chapters on karst hydrogeology, including characterization and performing dye tracer tests
• All chapters have new material, including more examples and worked problems
