Water Well Design

Duration: 2hrs

Extracting groundwater for use as public water supply, irrigation, or industrial supply presents a challenge to Engineers, Geologists, and Well Drilling Contractors. Water wells must be designed to fit existing natural conditions. Factors including aquifer parameters (location, depth, rock types, and water yield capacity), geology and water quality, are unique to every location. The professional engineer, geologist, and well driller need to be informed of these factors to complete a successful water well construction project. 

This 2-hour interactive online course will introduce you to the necessary steps in a water well design project. Proceeding with researching of local groundwater conditions to obtaining information necessary to locate and plan a well, this course presents techniques for designing a water well. You will learn valuable skills in the phases necessary to implement a well construction project.

At the completion of this course, the student will have achieved the following goals:

• Knowledge of steps necessary for successful water well construction.
• Skills in researching information to identify local geologic and groundwater conditions.
• Improved ability to analyze site conditions and design a water well.
• Increased knowledge of well construction methods and materials.
