Microbiology of Well Biofouling

Addresses the events that cause deterioration in various types of wells. This book discusses the generation of mass that can interfere with the physical functioning of a well in the field. It helps to understand the phenomena of biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events.

The third book in the Sustainable Well Series, Microbiology of Well Biofouling, is the second edition of Practical Manual of Groundwater Microbiology. It is concerned with solving production problems in all types of wells.

See what's new in the new edition:

Addresses deleterious events in all types of wells in greater detail

Discusses the generation of mass which interferes with the physical functioning of a well

Covers the major innovations in the field

Includes more field applicable material

Completely revised and updated

The book is a useful reference guide for water well operators, hazardous waste site operators, consulting engineers, public health inspectors, microbiologists, and analytical chemists. It is written with a direct, straight forward approach based upon the advances in the technology over the last twenty years.

With this guide, you understand the phenomena of biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events. Practical approaches to the evaluation of these effects are introduced, including standard and novel methodologies.
