The type of well you choose to install depends on factors such as regional geology, water table depth, budget, and required water quality. There are three main types of wells: dug, driven, and drilled. Dug wells are shallow, and typically lined with stones to prevent collapse. Drilled wells, are very deep and access underground aquifers.Web

Here is a brief overview of the process for creating some common types of wells: 1. Dug wells. Dug wells are the most traditional and simple type of water well. They are excavated by hand, using shovels and other hand tools. To create a dug well, workers first identify an area where the water table is likely to be shallow.Web

3.2 Dug Wells. Dug wells (Figure 7 and Figure 8) have large diameters (typically 600 to 1500 mm) and are usually relatively shallow (3 to 10 m deep), extending only a few meters below the water table. They were historically the most common type of domestic well because they could be constructed by hand without the need for heavy equipment.Web

A domestic well can cost between $5,000 and $10,000. An irrigation well can cost in excess of $40, 000 and as much as $150,000 or more. The actual cost will depend upon the depth to groundwater, the desired well capacity, and cho ices among a variety of well drilling, well design, well construction, and well development considerations.Web

Depths of hand-dug wells range from shallow dug wells (about5 metres in depth) to deep dug wells (over 20 metres in depth). An excavation of about 1.5 metres in diameter provides adequate working space for the diggers and will allow a final internal diameter of about 1.2 metres after the well has been lined (WATERAID 2008).Web

To minimize water quality and quantity impacts, dug wells should be at least 3 m (10 ft) deep and sited away from surface water sources. Surface water can carry contaminants from the land surface into your well and the aquifer. Check with your local government about setbacks for construction of wells near streams, lakes and wetlands.Web

Driven Wells Like dug wells, driven wells pull water from the water-saturated zone above the bedrock. Driven wells can be deeper than dug wells. They are typically 30 to 50 feet deep and are usually located in areas with thick sand and gravel deposits where the ground water table is within 15 feet of the ground's surface. In th. eWeb
