Why Electric Log Water Wells?

Abstract

This paper describes an electric log and what it can do for water well contractors and ground‐water hydrologists. Electric logs furnish data on depth of hole, where casing should be set and perforated, static water levels, relative water‐yielding properties of aquifers, water quality, character of formations encountered, etc. The electric log is a permanent record of a water well which can assist in planning future repair work.
