"The largest available source of fresh water in India for irrigation is ground water. The use of it needs understanding regarding its origin, occurrence monitoring, management and development.
The present book deals with the information on ground water occurrence, ground water maps, ground water geology and hydraulic conductivity. The design and construction of various types of well and the pumping tests have also been discussed.
The principals of ground water resources evaluation and practical application of the techniques and problems encountered during ground water investigation, pump testing, drilling and conductivity tests have been taken up in details. This book lays emphasis on practical aspects of hydrogeology, hydrology and will be very useful to hydrologists, soil scientists, agriculture engineers and civil engineers etc., working in the field."
