The book is a useful reference guide for water well operators, hazardo us waste site operators, consulting engineers, public health inspector s, microbiologists, and analytical chemists. It is written with a dire ct, straight forward approach based upon the advances in the technolog y over the last twenty years. With this guide, you understand the phe nomena of biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydra ulic transmissivity that can be linked to microbial events. Practical approaches to the evaluation of these effects are introduced, includin g standard and novel...

Published nearly ten years ago, the first edition of Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification broke new ground with the wealth of detail and breadth of information it provided. The second edition is poised to do the same. Differing fundamentally from the first edition, this book begins by introducing the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in the product whether it be water, gas, oil, or even air. It presents a new classification system for bacterial communities based upon their effect and...
