Well-drilling Methods

Washington, 1911 – 144 p.The following report on methods of well drilling deals with a subject which should interest both the geologist and the engineer, for well drilling lies in that borderland where geology and engineering meet on equal terms. The resulting dual nature of the problems involved is best illustrated by the class of men who are constantly being called into consultation in regard to them. These men are either geologists who have had experience in water-supply problems, engineers who are somewhat familiar with geology, or men who, recognizing the special nature of the problems involved, are conversant with both geology and engineering.
