Biofouling in Water Wells
Abstract Biofouling as a term has its origins in pre‐World War II studies of marine fouling and generally refers to coating, encrustation, and corrosion associated with the attachment of organisms to surfaces, including human‐engineered structures. The phenomenon arises from the tendency of life acr...
