    Throughout the world, boreholes and tubewells operate inefficiently or have been abandoned. Diagnosis of the problems requires hydrogeological and operational information, which is often not available because appropriate monitoring has not taken place. Guidelines on cost effective monitoring and maintenance need to be established; information on successful rehabilitation techniques is needed. This book forms the proceedings of a conference organised to exchange practical experience and scientific knowledge on these aspects of water wells.

    Preface. Part 1: Overviews. Part 2: Causes. Part 3: Diagnosis and monitoring. Part 4: Cures. Part 5: Rehabilitation in practice. Part 6: Economic and management factors. Index.
