To some people, the decision to invest in a domestic water bore is always a simple one; however, some individuals are often daunted by this unfamiliar process. In an attempt to emphasize on the need to overcome the element of unfamiliarity and henceforth, enhance saving of water which has become a limited resource, let’s delve into the process of Water Bore Drilling.
The very first step is to determine where the water is and by what means will it be reached. This entails involving hydro-geologists who will site the borehole. These experts make use of diverse as borehole drilling methods to accurately assess the geophysical properties of the underlying area. These are the people who ensure that drilling is not taking place into natural hazards or infrastructure such as cables, pipelines or phone lines.
The second step and the most instrumental step is the actual drilling and construction. Once the hydro-geologists have located an appropriate drilling site, the next thing is to follow through and construct the water borehole. It is not an easy process but the outcome is fulfilling. It is key to note that an endless spring of water will not just surge up following the drilling of the borehole; many other steps are to be completed first. Once the borehole has been successfully drilled, the unstable heights of the borehole are firmly steel cased for reinforcement purposes.
The third step is to determine the yield of the borehole. This involves the use of the aquifer test in order to accurately gauge its yield. It entails installing of a test pump and afterwards pumping water from the borehole for a fixed set of variables; a specific time at a specific rate. After that, assess the test’s impact on the water level in the water borehole. The highest yield is achieved by simply increasing the abstraction rate through optimum draw-down of water in the borehole.
The final step is pumping and piping the borehole. The type of pumping system and the piping installed in the domestic water borehole will majorly depend on the intended use of the borehole. The purpose of the borehole will affect how you do the piping for your borehole.
Water Bore Drilling is indeed a great step in getting adequate water supply for domestic use. It is very crucial to have an experienced borehole professional carrying out the geology research of the site perfectly well so as to get the best outcome possible.
