By using both proven and innovative technology and having a better understanding of a water wells behavior it is possible to increase the success of well rehabilitation efforts.  Several parameters should be tested and evaluated prior to implementing the rehabilitation plan. These parameters will be explored.   The presentation will pinpoint the root cause for failure and provide best practices to eliminate failure.   With over 30 years of experience, and hundreds of well rehabs completed, the unexpected will be valuable knowledge worthy of sharing. Well professionals, geologist, government officials, and public health professionals will be interested in what was learned.
