Wells and Springs of Dorset is an authoritative geological study and comprehensive survey of the hydrogeology of Dorset, England. Authored by the renowned geologist William Whitaker, this work provides an exhaustive inventory and analysis of the county's water resources during the early 20th century.
The text meticulously details the geological formations of the region, examining how the varied strata-from the Chalk and Greensand to the Jurassic limestone-influence the occurrence and quality of groundwater. Readers will find detailed accounts of specific wells, boreholes, and natural springs, alongside chemical analyses of water samples and historical data on water supply systems for various towns and villages. The book serves as a vital record of the intersection between geology and civil engineering, highlighting the challenges of securing potable water in a diverse landscape.
This volume remains an essential reference for geologists, historians of science, and those interested in the environmental history and regional development of the West Country. Its systematic approach captures a moment in time when systematic geological surveying was fundamental to public health and regional infrastructure.
