Reducing Problematic Concentrations of Iron and Manganese in Residential Water Well Systems
Presented on Wednesday, October 15, 2014
This 30-minute online presentation provides a basic overview of procedures for successful mitigation of iron and manganese in water well systems. Based on the NGWA-produced industry best practices document for Reducing Problematic Concentrations of Iron and Manganese in Residential Water Well Systems, topics covered in this brown bag session include:
- Background related to iron and manganese in groundwater and health effects
- Guidance regarding geologic conditions and land-use settings related to iron and manganese
- Well location and construction methodologies related to concentrations of iron and manganese
- Information on groundwater sampling and treatment options.
