Abstract | The fouling and corrosion of water wells leading to a decline in well performance is a global problem. In Australia the national importance of decreased well performance has been recognised as a problem by all State Water Authorities and the Federal Government. In support of this, a research project was funded to investigate the processes involved and was reported in McLaughlan et al (1993). This current document is designed to transfer the scientific and practical knowledge gained in that investigation into a form that is more suited to operators of groundwater wells and the consultants and contractors associated with the well rehabilitation industry. It aims to provide a conceptual framework for the processes causing well deterioration as well as providing guidance on minimising the impact of these processes on the performance of groundwater wells. The scope of the original research investigation has been expanded from groundwater extraction wells to include performance problems in remediation and subsurface injection wells. |
