Jason, What's wrong with not relying on experts !! the archaeologists have done well on it !!! What reference are you making to shallow 'well' development, eg well points or horizontal tubes !! I must admit to being sceptical about suggesting any geophys technique for early field evaluation !!! shallow or deep !! I would be happy to help contribute, or comment on any drafts etc I know a hell of a lot about shallow aquifer exploitation. tim On Fri, 16 Jun 2000 16:34:39 +0100 Jason Snuggs <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am working on a field manual on behalf of Oxfam for 'Groundwater in > emergency situations'.
