No one has recorded when well digging started, but surely humans
imitated elephants in digging holes in the sand to access cooler
water that didn't make the children sick. Eventually, humankind
began to redesign, maintain, and repair the wells they constructed,
but when wells became "commodities" in the twentieth century, this
maintenance ethic was fogotten. Recapturing that ethic, Sustainable
Wells: Maintenance, Problem Prevention, and Rehabilitation is a
guide to keeping well systems operating at peak capacity. The book
focuses on how to prevent and forestall problems, and manage the
problems with wells as they age. Examining the many challenges that
come with maintaining well performance, the book provides a
comprehensive yet readable state-of-the-art summary of performance
maintenance, problem prevention, and rehabilitation or restoration
practice with the goal of sustaining optimal performance over the
long run. Rather than focusing on a certain aspect of well
cleaning, or a particular technical approach, it covers the scope
of maintenance and rehabilitation, from planning to evaluation
testing. It also addresses the crucial subjects of preventive
design, maintenance monitoring from electrical to biofouling, and
evaluation testing. An exploration of the subject without a vendor
or strong regional bias, the book is based on the authors'
extensive hands-on experience serving well-operating clientele. In
addition to water supply wells, it addresses the problems and
maintenance issues of monitoring, plume control, and other
"environmental" wells. Compiling information from existing
literature into a single source, and combining that information
with experience, the book provides recommendations based on
historical performance. Copiously illustrated with approximately
ninety black and white photographs, figures, and a color insert,
the book reflects the changes in the profession that have occurred
during the past decade or so. These features and more make this the
first resource to turn to when devising solutions for maintaining
and improving well performance.
