Hi, Vulnerability is often carried out with DRASTIC and similar tools. However, there is also work carried out looking at vulnerability in reverse sense; Given...
Dear Dr. Limaye, I agree with your view points. But it will be part of decision process in coming years. I would like to add another case study of groundwater ...
Dr. Kumar: Thanks for inviting me to be on the committee. I am not sure if I can make such a huge commitment. I can certainly contribute to reviewing some...
Dear readers and Dr. Kes Kesari, Actually, it is not like a course. My intentions are like series of lectures/tutorials starting from basics to case studies....

Agree, we have to set the web site, then we could post suggested material for reading. Perhaps we could organize our output in levels, i.e. elementary,...
In addition to Ken's recommendation, another USEPA document that may be of interest to this group is the "Ground Water Modeling Compendium" which can be viewed...
Hi Ken & Richard: Thanks for the suggestion. I also have a PDF version of the MODFLOW problem set along with the associated MODFLOW data sets. We hope to...

Hi David M. Bean Is this possible for you to e mail your PDF version of the MODFLOW problem as an attach to the group. Farshid Farhani (Note: attachments are...
Dear Friends, Water wells in my area have found some problem with their screens. They closed because of sediment gathering on their holes. So the water's...
The well design should be based on the precise description of the cuttings and the geophysical logs. Selection of the proper screen material and slot size will...
Dear Amin, Normally, gravel packings are given at the time of well construction inorder to prevent clogging of screens. Well cleanup (purging) using compressed...
Dear Amin i think scaling effect of the groundwater also some times ends up in such condition, if so get it verified. i dont know whether the slushing the...

Hello Amir, The wells need to be re-developed to remove the sediment. I would recommend surge blow method to remove sediment from the filter pack, but I've...
Dear Amin, Isn't it unusual that all wells in an area are gathering sediment. I think you should check the local companies or authorities methodology for...
Amin: There a several ways to clear clogged screen and generally clean up a well. Assuming you have a workover rig to allow the use of downhole tools you can ...

The reason is most likely to be encrustation by iron (and manganese) hydro-oxydes (hydrated Fe hydroxides). This develops when wells are constructed are in an...
