Water Wells and Boreholes (eBook)

Bruce Misstear teaches hydrogeology at Trinity College Dublin, where he is a Fellow of the College. He previously worked for an international firm of consulting engineers, carrying out groundwater development projects in many countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. His current research interests include groundwater pollution, aquifer recharge and groundwater engineering. David Banks is a consulting hydrogeologist with Holymoor Consultancy Ltd in the UK and is a Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow. His particular interests include mine water, hydrochemistry and ground source heat. He has worked extensively internationally in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, South America and Africa. The late Lewis Clark worked for many years with the Water Research Centre in the UK before setting up his own consultancy. He was involved in many groundwater projects internationally, especially in Europe, Africa and Asia. He was also a Visiting Professor in Hydrogeology at University College London.

"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)
