Opis

Even if you never have to locate a water well site yourself, there is much within this book that the reader may find of interest about ground water: where it may be found, its origins, and the hydrological cycle. The main emphasis is about groundwater and how to locate well sites with the use of maps, climatological and groundwater reports, and drilling records. These are supplemented by keen field observations of land-forms, stream patterns, seeps, springs and the local vegetation (or lack there of), and particularly the health and girth of trees and the particular species with their different root systems. This text was prepared for the layperson, for the general public with an interest in water. It may be of special interest to students of geography and geology, real estate professionals, governmental organizations such as the Peace Corps, and charitable organizations who are assisting developing nations that have a need for low technical, low-cost methods to solve their water shortage problems.
