• Purpose of well• Water Supply• Contaminant Extraction• Monitoring• Injection• Vadose Zone
Monitoring• Soil Vapor Extraction
Vital Things to Supply Well Design
• Casing and Borehole Designed from the Inside-Out
– Purpose of the Well– Pump Size– Casing & Screen Diameter– Annulus Tubing String and Material
Needs– Borehole Size– Surface Casing Size– Surface Borehole Diameter
• Screen and Filter Pack Designed from Outside-In
– Sieve Analysis– Filter Pack– Well Screen
