This handbook helps well operators understand the problems that microbes in groundwater can cause to water wells and water quality and offers practical solutions for regenerating and rehabilitating water wells. Groundwater contains many kinds of microbes that can affect the production of water wells, as well as the quality of water coming from wells. Groundwater microbes can clog and plug wells, greatly decreasing well production. Such microbes can also generate gases, cause corrosion, create tastes and odors, cause disease, and cause wells to fail. The book defines and illusrates the various types of microbes that live in groundwater and soils and the kinds of problems microbes can create in water wells. Its practical advice includes new sampling and testing procedures; symptoms of failure, early warnings, and eventual catastrophes; physical and chemical treatment strategies for water wells.
