Water Well Design by the Numbers
Water Well Design by the Numbers
Presented on Monday, December 3, 2018
Proper well design is truly the foundation of a good water supply well, whether for residential or large capacity application. This workshop will address the basics of well design for wells less than 100 gpm and more than 100 gpm. In-class exercises for both types of production wells will be incorporated into the classwork. Scientists and engineers as well as water well contractors and project managers can benefit from this class.
