Field Procedures, Borehole Siting, and Groundwater Exploration Case Histories examines the practical steps and techniques involved in conducting groundwater investigations, from field data collection to the selection of suitable borehole locations for water supply. It focuses on field procedures such as geological mapping, geophysical surveys, drilling supervision, and well logging, as well as the criteria for effective borehole siting based on subsurface conditions, aquifer potential, and water quality considerations. The topic also incorporates case histories of groundwater exploration projects to illustrate real-world applications, challenges, and solutions in different environments. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand standard field procedures in groundwater exploration, identify factors influencing borehole siting, analyze real-life case studies for practical insights, and develop skills for planning, executing, and evaluating groundwater exploration projects effectively.
