Water Well Rehabilitation and Maintenance—Green Approach to Asset Management and Iron Bacteria Control
Water Well Rehabilitation and Maintenance—Green Approach to Asset Management and Iron Bacteria Control
Presented on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Lost capacity, loss of well efficiency, and associated water quality problems including total coliform problems will be described and methods of rehabilitation will be shared. Novel ideas and understanding well problems and solutions will be presented based on many years of experience. Loss of well efficiency can lead to higher cost of pumping water. With ever increasing energy costs there is increasing pressure to look at ways to reduce cost. New effective and economical methods of well maintenance will be presented with case studies of cost savings.
