Francis H. Chapelle, Ph.D., a hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey for twenty-five years, is the author of Ground-Water Microbiology and Geochemistry. He has written over one hundred papers for peer-reviewed scientific journals, and received the 2000 O. E. Meinzer Award in Hydrogeology given by the Geological Society of America.

Many people consider ground water deep beneath their feet as
mysterious, perhaps even supernatural. To clarify matters,
hydrogeologist Frank Chapelle has written a definitive history and
science of subsurface water in his Wellsprings, a book both
accessible to the lay reader while being filled with startling
nuggets of information pleasing to the professional water
scientist.
