2、last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers the development of screened wellsinstalled for the purpose of obtaining representative ground-water info
3、rmation and water quality samples from granularaquifers,though the methods described herein could also beapplied to wells used for other purposes.Other well-development methods that are used exclusively in open-borehole bedrock wells are not described in this guide.1.2 The applications and limitatio
4、ns of the methods de-scribed in this guide are based on the assumption that theprimary objective of the monitoring wells to which themethods are applied is to obtain representative water qualitysamples from aquifers.Screened monitoring wells developedusing the methods described in this guide should
5、yield rela-tively sediment-free samples from granular aquifer materials,ranging from gravels to silty sands.While many monitoringwells are considered“small-diameter”wells(that is,less than10 cm 4 in.inside diameter),some of the techniquesdescribed in this guide will be more easily applied to large-d
