The Engineers' Manual for Water Well Design *SIGNED BY AUTHOR/INCLUDES LETTER FROM AUTHOR*

250 pages. Index. Author inscribed and signed the front free endpaper with the name 'Kenny'. Laid inside front cover is a letter from author to a friend apparently affiliated with the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association. This interesting letter is also signed "Kenny."

True to its title, this excellent reference includes the following chapters, most of which are broken down into many sub-chapters: Well Designs (gravel envelope, naturally developed); The Engineer's Decision - Selection of Design; General Considerations; Scope of Work and Qualifications; Casing and Screen; Drill Fluid; Drilling and Logging; Formation Stabilizer and Filter Pack; Preliminary Well Development; Development and Test Pumping; Logs and Records; The Owner, The Engineer, and the Well. Appendix A - Preparing Specifications. Appendix B- Casing Collapse Strength. Book clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Light wear to dust jacket which is preserved in a Brodart cover. An extra special copy of this otherwise rare and highly technical yet thorougly practical work. Book
