ABSTRACT
Everything in well management has to be put into perspective. In the perfect world,
the water well would treated every 6 weeks as a preventative servicing routine and
would never fail. This is not a perfect world and things fail sometimes suddenly
with no warning signs. Water wells are complex creations that can be affected by any
combination of physical, chemical, geological, and biological factors not necessarily
in that order. There are five broad categories into which well problems can be
grouped.
