Book Geophysical Exploration for Ground Water in Hard Rocks by Prabhat Chandra Chandra in DOC, EPUB, MOBI
9780415664639 English 0415664632 Groundwater Geophysics in Hard Rock, based on field experiences and applied research, aims at focusing geophysical approaches to specific problems in local as well as large scale groundwater exploration and development in hard rocks. It will prove useful for practising geologists, hyclrogeologists, geophysicists, and civil and environmental engineers who plan to enter the challenging domain of enigmatic hard rock fracture zone-aquifer delineation and also wish to comprehend the subsurface conditions adequately. This work may also help stimulate geophysical research activities to improve upon investigative techniques, approaches and interpretations. Readers may consider this book as a complete guide presenting comprehensive knowledge on geophysical investigation of hard rock aquifers for their exploitation and restoration. It also represents a valuable reference book on hard rock geophysics for those who are studying or want to pursue a career in hydrogeology, groundwater geophysics or engineering and environmental geology. Finally, it may help policy-makers in planning an effective solution involving geophysics to groundwater development and management issues in hard rock environments. Book jacket., In hard rock terrain, shallow water wells generally have a poor to moderate yield. Sinking wells deeply to tap yielding fracture zones often backfires, because the borehole may miss the saturated fracture zones at depths. A wrong approach to groundwater exploration in hard rock has therefore often led to unnecessary recurring expenditures and waste of time, something that could have been avoided by a systematic and proper geophysical approach. The combination of various geophysical techniques with environmental conditions is essential to constrain the interpretation and reduce uncertainties in this respect. This book presents the approach to groundwater exploration in hard rocks, various geophysical techniques and combinations to be used, interpretation of data with case studies and drilling results and the preparation of different utility maps., In hard rock terrain, shallow water wells, genarlly have a poor to moderate yield. Sinking wells deeply to tap yielding fracture zones gets defeated at many places, because the borehole may miss the saturated fracture zones at depths.
