Groundwater Case Histories
Groundwater case histories historically have been the “jewels” of our practical literature. These are “tell alls” written by the people who made the effort and took the risks. Authors of valuable case histories can emerge at any stage of practice; the goal is to identify technical and procedural problems and how they were overcome by the author; discovery of unusual scientific conditions of importance to solving problems can enrich any case history; images, drawings and field sketches are desirable. Hungry minds await these true stories from the field or from lab.

[downloads_box title=”Library Documents:”]Franks – Geophysics As A Tool For Finding Earth Materials That Can Transmit Water To A Well – Yosemite Here Dr. Franks was faced to “see into” a glacial geomorphic landform that he knew, from experience, should be water-bearing, but that the usual gross heterogenieties of these landforms begged that he know more about the make up of the would-be aquifer. His was an early use of the 24-channel refraction-type seismograph. The case frees our minds to accept the many possibilities of this engineering geophysical technique.Download
