Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of the Wolverton Creek Valley in California, focusing on its potential as a groundwater source for the nearby Giant Forest area. The author, a geologist, conducted a geophysical survey and pumping test to assess the valley's water storage capacity and the feasibility of extracting water for public use. The book begins by describing the valley's geological makeup, including its alluvium, glacial till, and bedrock. The author then delves into the methods and results of the geophysical survey, which involved magnetic and seismic techniques to determine the depth and configuration of the bedrock surface. This information was crucial for estimating the volume of saturated alluvium and its potential water storage capacity. The author also presents the findings of the pumping test, which evaluated the specific capacity of an existing well and provided insights into the aquifer's response to groundwater extraction. The results highlighted the importance of proper well design and construction to ensure sustained yield and water quality. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the need for careful management of groundwater resources to prevent contamination and depletion. The thematic depth of the book lies in its exploration of the complex interplay between geology, hydrology, and human water needs. The book concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of the study, underscoring the significance of understanding groundwater resources for sustainable water management practices in similar geological settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
