We can make reasonable predictions of future water requirements and sensible projections of the likely well/ pump/aquifer system conditions, so that throughout the operational life of the well we will meet our water production goals. Marvin F. Glotfelty, RG in "Pump Equipment Considerations for Well Design", page 52 waterwelljournal.com 84 n March 2021 WWJ Understanding electrical power and how it affects electric motors is critical for successful pump installations. Power quality can directly affect both the operation and the life of a motor. Alan Bixler and Brendan Watson in "Power Quality and Pumps", page 26 Research indicates nearly two-thirds (64%) of U.S. workers say they're likely to get the COVID-19 vaccination once it becomes available. If an employer imposes a vaccine mandate, more than half (55%) of U.S. workers say they're extremely or very likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
