"Preface This document was prepared as a practical instruction guide for field hydrogeologists. It differs from other field guides in that the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) techniques manuals and environmental protection manuals were used to prepare this guide and are referenced extensively. The guide was written in part to expose hydrogeologists, particularly those new to field investigations, to these detailed and useful standard operating procedures (SOPs). This second edition of Field Hydrogeology contains the following new sections: - history of hydrogeology - field safety - groundwater quality and testing the quality of groundwater - construction of hydrogeologic cross section and maps - federal laws to protect groundwater - transboundary aquifers - new THEIS computer model for designing aquifer tests This edition also has new case studies: Nubian aquifer in northern Africa, Mexico City, and the High Plains aquifer in the southwestern United States. Another addition to this field guide is a computer program to design the location of observation wells for aquifer tests"--
