Transport and Fate of Contaminants in Surface Water
groundwater.ucdavis.edube degraded is necessary if the fate of the chemical is to be determined accurately. Solids in water exist in two forms: either as particulate (filterable) solids or as dissolved (nonfilterable) solids. Within each group, further differentiation can be made between organic (volatile) solids and …

Basic Concepts of Groundwater Hydrology
groundwater.ucdavis.edumost California regions, the water table is between 10 and 100 feet below the land surface (in some Southern California desert basins it is as deep as 300 feet). It is in California’s numerous valleys and intermontane basins that ground water exists in the greatest quantity (California and Nevada groundwater basins are shown in Figure 1).
Water Well Design and Construction
groundwater.ucdavis.eduThe oldest known wells,Qanats, are hand-dug hori-zontal shafts extending into the mountains of the old Persian empire in present-day Iran. Some wells are used for purposes other than obtaining ground water. Oil and gas wells are examples of this. …
Groundwater Sampling and Monitoring

Shallower wells, particularly domestic wells with smaller pumping rates, should be sampled once or twice a year because they are more prone to short-term variations in groundwater quality and contamina-tion.
