Ground Water Movement in Living Color

This colorful, time-sequence series illustrates ground water movement through laboratory sand model studies. Experimental studies include flow to pumping wells, effluent streamflow, cone of depression studies, refraction through and around lenses of varying permeability, artificial recharge through pits, artesian flow, and perched water tables. Slides are accompanied by a tape- recorded narrative and reprints of published articles on each model experiment. Excellent for college students.

Water Well Systems-Planning and Construction

This program explains how ground water accumulates in the earth and how the modern water well driller taps this abundant resource. Several well construction and drilling methods are explained. The process of water system planning, pump and pipe selection and sizing, water testing and equipment, well development, and pollution prevention are covered. The presentation promotes greater understanding of the functions performed by modern well drillers and pump installers, plus it gives the customer a checklist to make sure the drilling job will be done properly and the water system will be adequately planned.
