Marvin F. Glotfelty, RG, addresses the issue of how many water wells are going dry due declining water tables and ways to deepen them to get more life out of them. While it's not a new problem, Glotfelty acknowledges it's going to continue to be a trend for the foreseeable future. Before explaining ways to deepen a well, Glotfelty stresses the need for groundwater professionals to communicate to the well owners the limits to it. Glotfelty shares PowerPoint slides to help illustrate his points.
