Geology, Design, and Construction of Deep Wells in Sedimentary Foundations

Waggoner, Eugene B. / Owens, Willard G.

This article begins by emphasizing the importance of a predesign study of the feasibility of constructing a well depending on the prevailing geologic and groundwater conditions of the site. The well should then be designed on the basis of known or anticipated underground conditions. Alternate designs and provisions for bidding unit prices should be included in well specifications in case changes in the preliminary design are deemed necessary during construction. Selection of pumping equipment should be based on a pumping test of sufficient duration to determine optimum yield and pumping level.
