Design and Build Safe,
Efficient Systems for Irrigation and Water Supply
Water Wells and Pumps
is a comprehensive guide to the essential theory and
design of ground water structures, wells/tube wells, and
pumps, with particular emphasis on problem solving and
meeting the requirements of developing nations.
It features thorough,
up-to-date knowledge of the science and technology of
water wells and pumps as well as allied appliances and
applications.
This authoritative desk
reference outlines the construction, operation, and
maintenance of water wells for irrigation and water
supply. It also presents the development and testing of
tube wells as well as a variety of pumps, both
location-specific. Using SI units exclusively, Water
Wells and Pumps features:
- Coverage of a variety of
pumps, including those using non-conventional,
environmentally friendly means
- Examinations of ground
water recharge methods, well rehabilitation, and
animal-powered water lifts
- Techno-economic
evaluation of projects on wells and pumps
- References and problems
at the end of each chapter for research and educational
use
