Laboratory Manual for Groundwater, Wells, and Pumps — 1st Edition
by Rohitashw Kumar, Vijay P. Singh, and Munjid Maryam

Discover a practical, classroom-to-field laboratory companion designed for students, researchers, and water-resource professionals. This 1st edition offers a clear, hands-on approach to the fundamentals and applied methods of groundwater science, well hydraulics, and pump selection — essential for effective water-supply design and management in India, South Asia, arid regions, and beyond.

Step-by-step experiments and lucid explanations guide you through groundwater sampling, permeability and porosity tests, slug and pumping tests, drawdown analysis, specific capacity calculations, and pump performance assessment. Each lab emphasizes real-world data handling, interpretation, plotting, and troubleshooting so you build confidence in both laboratory technique and field decision-making. Carefully drawn diagrams, worked examples, and practical tips bridge theory and application, making complex hydrogeologic concepts accessible.

Ideal for undergraduate and graduate coursework, field training, and professional reference, this manual strengthens technical competence for civil and environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, municipal planners, and consultants. You’ll gain the skills to evaluate aquifer behavior, design and maintain wells, and select pumps suited to local hydrogeologic conditions — improving project outcomes and resource sustainability.

Concise, authoritative, and practice-oriented, this manual is a must-have for anyone serious about groundwater investigation and well-pump systems. Add this essential resource to your professional library and elevate your laboratory and fieldwork standards today.
