Preface
Several books are available in the market on various groundwater development and management issues. The need for a comprehensive book on different practical aspects of groundwater studies has long been felt by geologists, geophysicists, civil and agricultural engineers with an eye to understand the groundwater system and targeting the aquifers under different geologic, terrain and geomorphic conditions. Use of remote sensing data for a reconnoitre survey for groundwater is almost a routine now. Vertical electrical sounding and seismic refraction surveys in geophysics are used for recommendation of drilling points followed by electrical logging of the boreholes for exact lowering of strainers and subsequent groundwater development. Pumping test after the completion of the well leads to the determination of aquifer parameters and refining assessment of necessary input for design of wells (wells, tube wells and radial collector wells) and yield-drawdown relation. Collection of water samples and its chemical analysis are essential comp
