Demonstration of a borehole camera survey

USGS staff demonstrate how to conduct a borehole camera survey in a monitoring well for visiting researchers from the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Borehole camera surveys provide valuable insight into conditions within the well such as fouling of the screen and leaky casing joints.
