Depending on which aquifers become available during drilling, drilling operations are distinguished such as drilling a deep well for water and drilling a shallow well for water.. Let’s take a closer look at what is the difference between these varieties..
Drilling deep wells allows you to get artesian water, which is a source of clean drinking water all year round. Its optimum depth is 30 m or more, this is the level below which the limestone is found. A characteristic feature of this type of work is that they must be carried out using a very powerful tool for drilling and flushing. As a rule, this uses a rotary method, when the destruction of the soil is carried out by rotating the working tool. Therefore, the drilling of deep, or artesian, wells should be carried out by professionals who have at their disposal the appropriate modern equipment..
But when the drilling work has already been completed, the well can be equipped with a pump, making it an excellent source of clean water. Even a very large cottage, whose water consumption is very high, will not experience any shortage in this regard. For the arrangement of the casing for an artesian well, a pipe made of metal or PVC is most often used..
The shallow well reaches the aquifers located in the sand layer. Their depth is most often 15-35 m. This type of drilling is carried out faster than in the case of deep wells, they require lighter equipment. However, when using manual drilling methods, the work is delayed, and its quality is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is better to use the services of a company that has the appropriate equipment..
A characteristic feature of a small drilled area is that it has a very low production rate. As a result, and also due to the fact that the water in such places is classified as technical, the use of this well to supply the home with drinking water is undesirable. It is well suited for watering the adjacent area, as well as for other technical needs..
The groundwater contains a high content of manganese and iron, as well as their salts..
Before drilling begins, the customer must always decide what type of drilling he needs, and if he finds it difficult to do this, then professionals from the Spetsproekt company will always help him..
