Determining the optimal well depth

The well is intended for the extraction of groundwater and its subsequent use for domestic and drinking water supply, irrigation or technical needs. There are different types: artesian, Abyssinian, on the sand. All of them allow you to obtain water from underground horizons. But for full operation, you need to accurately determine its optimal depth.. This is important to ensure a sufficient flow rate and water quality. How to do it right?

Factors, affecting the depth of the well

Primarily, The depth of the well depends on the geological structure of the site. It is necessary to study stratigraphy, identify the presence of aquifer horizons, Their power. The more powerful the water -bearing layer, The bigger can be a moron and the less the depth needs.

It is important to know the level of aquifer of the aquifer - the deeper it is located, the deeper you will have to drill. The volume of water reserves in the horizon also matters. In large reserves, the well can be made not very deep.

The question is important, For what purposes are water needed. If for watering a small section - the well can be small. But for the water supply of the village you will need deeper with a large moron.

Methods for determining the depth

There are various methods, which allow you to determine the optimal depth of the well:

• Geophysical studies give information about the structure of the subsoil and the survival of the aquifer.
• Hydrogeological calculations according to available data on the aquifers allow you to calculate a potential debt of wells to a different depth.
• Experimental and filtration work – Picking from trial wells give actual data on the moron.
• Trial drilling – allows you to clarify the position of the aquifers and the quality of the water in them.

Based on these data, you can make a reasonable decision on the necessary depth of the future well and the place of its laying. The right choice water drilling technologies is of great importance for the performance and cost of drilling.

Mistakes when choosing a depth

With improper choice of depth of well, various problems are possible.

Too small may not reach aquifers or give a very small moron. The operation of such a well is economically impractical.

Too deeper will lead to an unjustified rise in cost of work and a decrease in profitability due to a large volume of drilling. Also, at great depths, water can be of poor quality and unsuitable for use.

An error in choosing a place of laying is also fraught with problems. Even a deep well can turn out to be "dry", If you are drilled in an inappropriate place outside the distribution zone of aquifers horizons.

In this way, A competent approach to choosing a depth and place of laying a well is of fundamental importance. This will allow you to get a sufficient flow of water of the necessary quality and make the operation of an economically effective. The neglect of this issue is fraught with obtaining a water source unsuitable for using.
