Study Notes
Well Construction
- Wells can be dug to a depth of about 15 meters and have a diameter determined by space availability.
- Driven Wells are typically the least expensive type of well construction.
- Bored Wells are created using large augers.
Well Operation and Challenges
- The operation of a pump lowers the water table, forming a cone of depression around the well.
- Driven Wells can reach depths of 15 meters (50 ft).
- Beton Welly wells can be driven to depths up to 9 meters.
Beton Welly and Bored Wells
- Beton Welly consists of a series of connected lengths of pipe driven by repeated impacts.
- Bored Wells utilize augers and are usually less than 30 meters (100 ft) deep.
- The diameter of bored wells ranges from 6 to 30 inches during drawdown.
Water Table Dynamics
- Bored Wells are suitable when the earth is free from loose material to prevent caving in.
- Drawdown refers to the decrease in water level at the well's perimeter, resulting in a cone of depression.
- The water table is lowered in the vicinity of the well due to pumping.
Infrastructure of Water Supply Systems
- Wells at Level 1 can be utilized as reliable sources of spring water for residential homes.
- A cone of depression is established when pumping begins.
- Drilled Wells can be constructed using percussion or rotary machines, reaching depths of up to 300 meters (984 ft).
Risk and Equipment
- Drilled Wells pose a lower risk of collapse due to greater depths and continuous casing use.
- The geology of a site determines the equipment needed for constructing Drilled Wells.
- Driven Wells consist of a series of pipe lengths driven into the ground.
Water Supply System Components
- Components of the water supply system include the water source pipe, distributing pipe, and necessary branch pipes.
- A well-designed water supply system encompasses a source, reservoir, piped distribution network, and household taps.
- This system is generally suitable for densely populated urban areas and serves an average of 100 households with 1 faucet per 4-6 homes.
Water Supply Classifications
- The water supply system is classified into levels, including Level 3 systems, which cover Individual House Connections.
- Level 3 systems provide direct connections to households for improved water accessibility.
