Manual of Field Hydrogeology
L. Sanders

For upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Field Hydrogeology.This field-oriented text/manual provides background information on the WHYs of field work as well as step-by-step procedures for the WHATs and HOWs of specific field tests. It provides students who already have a basic familiarity with introductory hydrogeology with hands-on practice in actual hydrogeologic field methods and activities.Outlines the steps and considerations in planning and conducting a field study - what to do before going to the field, upon arrival at the site, and before and after leaving the site, e.g.: Information sources for planning. Pg.___What to do in the field. Pg.___Common sense health and safety guidelines. Pg.___Field equipment checklists.Introduces the most common projects assigned to entry-level hydrogeologists - e.g., leaking storage tank jobs, site assessments, monitoring well installation. Pg.___ Emphasizes groundwater, although one chapter introduces methods for surface water. Considers ground water contamination and urban hydrogeology. Pg.___ Explains methods and considerations for: Describing soils and rocks. Pg.___Drilling boreholes. Pg.___Designing and installing wells. Pg.___Sampling and analyzing well water. Pg.___Describes special field situations the hydrogeologic consultant is likely to encounter. Pg.___ Reviews the various geological, mathematical, and hand tools used in hydrogeology. Pg.___ Outlines step-by-step procedures for various field methods/tests - e.g., planning a pumping test, measuring discharge of a stream. Provides convenient step-by-step summaries of each procedure. Pg.___Contains equipment checklists for each test. Pg.___Discusses uses and limitations of the methods - so students can determine if a particular method applies to a given field situation. Pg.___ Shows how to make, read, and evaluate hydrogeologic maps, cross-sections, and flow nets from field data. Pg.___ Provides sample forms for recording field data - e.g., boring logs, well construction diagram, pumping test data. Pg.___ Contains solved sample problems - e.g., slug tests, stream discharge. Pg.___ Provides a variety of worked examples throughout: Sample calculations and solved problems. Pg.___Field data collection forms and sample entries. Pg.___Examples of analytical processing of field data. Pg.___Features many field projects that require teamwork. Pg.___
