Did you know that underground aquifers harbor 97% of the world water? Water is the most sought after liquid and it has a wide range of uses from drinking, domestic, agricultural to drive machines in factories. To supplement water from other sources such as lakes, river and rain there is a need to drill wells. In this case there are several tools for water well drilling and I will undertake to discuss some.
Drilling well is an expensive endeavor, so there is need to factor in some issues such as the cost of drilling and compare it to that of other alternatives. Also, there is a need to pay keen attention to the city or town regulation when drilling a well. Finally, a geological survey will help you determine the best place to drill the well.
Tools used to drill a well can be categorized into two though there are some alternative tools that can be used. The first tool is the cable tool and helps to loosen up the earth and make it is easy for the bailing bucket to get the earth out of the hole. When drilling the well the heavy strings attached to the cable tool are dropped over the same point repeatedly as a result the earth looses up.
Another very essential tool is the bailing bucket and it is used to lift out the earth out of the well. It consists of a long cylinder with its bottom having a one-way valve. Sometimes there is need to add water into the loosed earth to hold it up for easy lifting up.
The rotary drill is the most used tool to separate the earth surfaces. It uses the hardened drills to cut through the soil surface, after which a water-based fluid helps suspend the cutting. After this the bucket scoops empty them outside the well.
Rotary drills are not that effective when the surface involved is very rocky and in this case percussion cables are used. Some disadvantages associated with these cables are that they are slow and costly when compared to the rotary drill. They are however less costly and faster in rocky areas where the rotary drills can spend ages and sometimes fails to accomplish the task.
When one is done with drilling they may end up thinking that they have water but more often than not the wells may be a hub for breeding pathogens. This call for another step which is sealing the well and proper measures should be taken to ensure the safety of well to both human beings and animals.
Lastly, the value of water in our life cannot be underestimated and as they say water is life. However, in some areas the water may not come out easily and this makes it imperative to use tools such as the rotary drill that can dig up to 300 meters deep into the ground. The area where the well is to be dug should be assessed and after the well is dug it should be protected from pathogens and other dangers.
