Borehole Data-Collection Methods Applicable for the Regional Observation and Monitor Well Program, Southwest Florida Water Management District

摘要

Management of ground-water resources within the Southwest Florida Water Management District requires that hydrogeologic characteristics of water-bearing rocks and quality characteristics of water be described. Wells for the District's Regional Observation and Monitor Well Program are drilled specifically to collect data to describe the groundwater resource. Borehole data-collection methods for these wells include drilling in stages; running geophysical logs at the completion of each stage; collection of water-level and specific-conductance data before, during, and after a day's drilling; specific-capacity determinations after a day's drilling; and placing a packer in the gypsiferous and anhydritic limestone and dolomite for water-level and water-quality data.
