Three Fields of Science That Can Influence the Life Cycle of a Water Well Geology – Chemistry - Microbiology
Three Fields of Science That Can Influence the Life Cycle of a Water Well Geology – Chemistry - Microbiology
Presented on Tuesday, December 3, 2019
In the process of evaluating factors that will influence the life cycle of a water well three primary scientific endeavors can come into play geology, chemistry and microbiology.
These three fields are intertwined in the design and placement of a well, the selection of the materials of construction, the efficient operation, the assessment of potential problems and the proper maintenance of a well. When a well is properly designed, constructed, operated and maintained a longer service life and a more cost effective life cycle can be expected.
This workshop will be presented in the three sections of science geology, chemistry and microbiology by ground water scientist experienced in these fields.
