Practicing field hydrogeology is challenging, but you'll be leagues ahead with the hands-on answers in this book.
Manual of Applied Field Hydrogeology covers actual procedures and real-world decisions not explained in textbooks.
Manual of Applied Field Hydrogeology provides plenty of practical examples to help you:
- Stay on top of what can go wrong, and prevent mishaps, injuries, and disasters
- Investigate contamination at hazardous waste sites safely and accurately
- Provide prescriptions for site cleanup
- Assess the quality and the quantity of an aquifer
- Work with mining operations on both contamination prevention and new water sources
- Design a single-well pumping test that's as effective as multiple wells
- Locate sources of groundwater
- Take a groundwater sample
- Log a drill hole
- Install a monitoring well
- Monitor vadose
- Analyze a slug test
