This practical manual is all about drilling and its related geology, machinery, methods, applications, management, safety issues, and more. Of all the technologies employed by hydrologists, environmental engineers, and scientists interested in subsurface conditions, drilling is one of the most frequently used but most poorly understood. Now, for the first time, this industry-tested manual, developed by one of the world’s leading authorities on drilling technology, is available to a worldwide audience.
