Overview:

Wells are a critical part of any groundwater supply system, but every well requires periodic maintenance and they will all eventually develop problems. Diagnosing water well performance problems can be challenging, as the cause(s) of declining groundwater production are sometimes obscure or even counterintuitive. After the problem has been identified, there will still be challenges to effectively rehabilitate the well. This virtual workshop will provide a logical progression of analytical techniques and case studies, so attendees will gain familiarity with methods and perspectives that will help guide them through the maze of well evaluation/rehabilitation alternatives and pitfalls. Multiple well assessment tools and techniques will be presented, along with various methods for structural modification of wells. Attendees will participate in brief breakout groups so they will gain hands-on experience with the application of these analytical techniques.
