Practical Manual of Groundwater Microbiology

By D. Roy Cullimore

With over 75 percent new material, this edition focuses on the impact of microorganisms on groundwater and water wells. It emphasizes how microbial events occur, how activities become focused, and how production characteristics are affected. The book covers biofouling, corrosivity, biodegradation, and shifts in hydraulic transmissivity, and introduces techniques, such as BART, for evaluating microbial events. It also contains a chapter that functions as a self-contained guide, with 79 descriptive illustrations of important concepts integral to the understanding of microbes in groundwater. Numerous appendices, some new to this edition, supply detailed information on more specialized topics.
