Synopsis
Excerpt from The Resource Agency Department of Water Resource: Cathodic Protection Well Standards State of California
Wells are commonly excavated to extract ground water or inject water into the ground. There are other types of wells, how ever, less common than the water well, constructed for other purposes which penetrate and pass through the underlying aquifers. One of these is the cathodic protection well, or deep anode as it is called in the corrosion industry. Cathodic protection wells house devices used to alleviate electrolytic corrosion of pipe lines, tanks, and similar installations.
Water wells have been recognized as a means whereby the quality of underground waters can be polluted or otherwise impaired. Such impairment is usually the result of inadequate design or construction or of improper destruction when the well is no longer in use. Actually the construction of any type well, regardless of its purpose, tends to disrupt the geologic environment.
