Diagnosing Well Related Problems Utilizing Digital Camera Video Recording Technology

Proceedings of the 2007 Georgia Water Resources Conference, March 27-29, 2007, Athens, Georgia.Water quality and quantity issues are important to all facets of society. For the most part, water quality and quantity is something we all take for granted until problems arise such as lack of water, cloudy or discolored water, pump problems, and safety and health issues. When these problems arise, it is necessary to look at the source of the problem for possible diagnosis. Our job as County Extension Agents is to disseminate information, utilize teachable moments, diagnose problems, and recommend possible solutions that will enhance a more healthy and prosperous life. Grant money made available through the administration of the UGA College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences has now allowed each extension district within the state to purchase one of these video systems to be utilized in our programming. By digitally video recording the well session, we are able to upload the digital video via internet in a compressed format in order for experts from around the world to view the problem and offer possible solution.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Conservation Service, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Ecology, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-2202.
