This report was prepared for the National Ground Water Association's Planning Council in June 2008 so the Association could better understand how to serve its members in light of substantial changes in its member markets. The nation's and the world's water supplies have been affected by population growth, strong economic growth and rising household affluence, climate change, and more water-intensive agricultural output and water-intensive energy policies. With so many forces redefining opportunities and demands, the report helps define the opportunities and demands placed on those working in the groundwater industry. The report is broken into three sections: Analysis of the drivers of change in water markets, regulation, and public policy; Scenarios of key finds for NGWA members; and Summary of Alternative Futures.

This brochure was designed by NGWA for your use with the public -- customers, potential customers, and others. Simply written and in full color, it describes four things well owners should keep in mind to reduce risks to their water well system. Discussed are proper well location and construction, regular well system maintenance, water testing and treatment, and groundwater protection. The brochures provide lists of things to look for during maintenance checks, water testing, and more.
Water issues are always economic issues and this book explores economic evaluation and cost-benefit analysis for the use, protection, remediation, and conservation of groundwater. The book reviews the major economic uses of and demand for groundwater and discusses the application of economics for groundwater policy and decisions. Authored by a columnist for NGWA's Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation, the book addresses a full range of groundwater topics building on other supporting disciplines, rather than focusing solely on how to evaluate the economics of contaminated-site remediation or of a single resource use.

This book presents practices currently used in the design and installation of monitoring wells. Emphasis is placed on the constraints dictated by hydrogeology conditions and limitations imposed by the availability of equipment to do the work that is needed. These constraints are balanced against the need to construct a well that will allow sampling, testing, and introduction of necessary tools. A matrix is provided to assist in the evaluation of drilling techniques. Procedures for equipment decontamination, well installation and completion, well development, well management, and well abandonment are discussed.
The Hidden Sea tells the story of human interaction with groundwater throughout history. Chapelle divides the book into three sections: the folklore of groundwater, the geology of aquifers, and the environmental problems occurring as the result of groundwater contamination. The book also includes tables and illustrations. Written for the general reader, The Hidden Sea offers an entertaining examination of the groundwater resource that will be meaningful to anyone who has ever drilled a well, soaked in a mineral spring, or just wondered why the tap water smelled funny.
This brochure was designed by NGWA for your use with the public -- customers, potential customers, and others. Simply written and in full color, it describes four basic steps well owners can take to properly maintain their water well system. Step one describes how to determine if a well system is clean. Step two covers cleaning a well system. Step three goes over testing the water, while step four concludes by discussing water well system treatment. The brochures are a great tool for your use. They emphasize the importance of working with a qualified contractor in servicing a well -- from inspection to maintenance and treatment.
This book covers conceptual site model development, spatial data analysis, and visual data presentation for hydrogeology and groundwater remediation.

This book covers the growing demands for water in many parts of the nation and the search for new approaches to sustainable water management. The text concludes that managed underground storage should be considered a valuable tool in a water manager's portfolio and recommends ways to address the unique challenges posed by managed underground storage systems through research and regulatory measures. A glossary and appendixes add detail.

This is a complete translation of Henry Darcy's Les Fontaines publiques de la ville de Dijon, which he wrote in 1856. It describes the construction of Dijon's water supply system. In an appendix, Darcy describes his experiments on water flow through sand and the empirical law he concluded from the results. This law, which became known as Darcy's law, is the foundation of the science of hydrogeology. The translation makes Darcy now accessible to modern-day scientists. The book also includes 28 plates of engineering drawings that were originally published as a separate volume.

The focus of this book is society's relationship with water. New York Times best-selling author Charles Fishman states that while water is the most vital substance in our lives it is something that has been taken for granted for too many years. He then takes readers on journey through water-obsesses hotels in Las Vegas to the parched Australian outback to water being used to produce iPhones and Blackberries. He discusses the past of people thinking it was free to the new era of water issues facing nations today. He then details how there is still no reason for a global water crisis as there is more than enough water; it just has to be used smartly. The message is cautionary but optimistic -- that rediscovering the special qualities of water is essential to rescuing us from water scarcity.
Written by practicing hydrogeologists, this inclusive handbook provides a concise, easy-to-use reference for hydrologic terms, equations, pertinent physical parameters, and acronyms.
This 20-minute DVD demonstrates the interaction between groundwater and surface water through a video demonstration. The DVD was produced by a team at the International Ground Water Modeling Center at the Colorado School of Mines. The effort was led by Eileen Poeter, Ph.D., a former NGWREF Darcy Lecturer. The tool is designed to educate the public regarding the interaction of surface water and groundwater in conjunctive use situations. In an objective and scientifically sound manner, the video illustrates how groundwater and surface water interact in different geologic settings with certain factors added in such as domestic wells, domestic waste water systems, and irrigation structures.
