The Basics of Groundwater
Hydrogeology is a branch of geology that studies water, both underground and on the surface of the Earth. The goal of this book is to help you understand
hydrogeologic systems on a practical level. If you end up working in hydrogeology or a related field, there is a good chance that you will be asked to predict the outcome of a water-related scenario.

Code of Practice for Cost Effective Boreholes
Summary
Sustainable groundwater development is fundamental in order to provide universal access to safe drinking water. This document, The Code of Practice for Cost Effective Boreholes provides a basis for the realisation of economical and sustainable access to safe water. The term “cost-effective” means optimum value for money invested over the long term. Boreholes are drilled to function for a lifespan of 20 to 50 years. Thus, the lowest cost is not always the most cost effective, particularly if construction quality is compromised to save money. Cheap drilling or poor construction quality can lead to premature failure of the well or contamination of the water supply. Boreholes that are subsequently abandoned by the users are clearly not cost-effective.

Well Construction
It is important that the water operator have some understanding of well construction and how Minnesota regulates it. Poor construction methods can contaminate aquifers. See the chapter on “Rules Relating to Wells and Borings” for a summary of items of interest to the water-supply operator.

Coagulation and Flocculation
Groundwater and surface water contain both dissolved and suspended particles. Coagulation and flocculation are used to separate the suspended solids portion from the water.

Natural Background Levels in Groundwater
The need for establishing a formal limit between the concentration of potentially toxic inorganic compounds in groundwater due to natural processes or to anthropogenic pollution has prompted researchers to develop methods to derive this boundary and define the “Natural Background Level” (NBL).
