Essentials of Ground Water Engineering

This book has been developed with the intention to highlight the significance of Groundwater governing Equations and Characteristics of different aquifers. It covers the Hydrogeological Parameters such as Water bearing Properties of Rock, Type of aquifers - Aquifer properties. Permeability, specific yield, transmissivity and storage coefficient, Methods of Estimation Norms, Steady-state flow, Darcy¿s Law, Groundwater Velocity, Dupuit Forchheimer, Steady Radial Flow into a Well and Well Hydraulics of Unsteady state flow, Theis method, Jacob method, Chow¿s method, Law of Times, Theis Recovery, Bailer method, Slug method, tests, Image well theory, Partial penetrations of wells, Well losses, Specific Capacity and Safe yield, Collector well and Infiltration gallery. It contains the techniques for the development and management of groundwater. And also assist an efficient primary reference for groundwater quality and groundwater conservation.
