Type

Elective

Credits

03

Prerequisite

GEOE 580

Overview

Review of water wells functions and drilling, Explaining design parameters (casing, screen, gravel pack and selecting pump depth and power), Development completion and disinfection, Water well maintenance (courses, methods, materials, frequency), Lab: Calculating length diameter of casing and screen, Selecting proper screen pores, Design gravel pack for installation, Calculating proper pressure for maintaining the well.

Intended learning outcomes

Outcomes of the course:

• Choice of well location
• Selection of appropriate drilling method
• Selection of appropriate construction materials, including pump specification
• Surface and Subsurface geological maps
• Geophysical logging, water quality samples, moreover determine aquifer hydraulic properties
• The well discharge rate should satisfy the demand for water
• The design should protect the well from land surface or subsurface pollutants
• Materials used in the well should be resist to corrosion and incrusting
• Economic issue must be taken into consideration during the well designs and all other stages
