According to the U.S. Geological Survey, groundwater may be close to the surface of the Earth or as deep as 30,000 feet (USGS).
Before beginning development on any site, whether it be residential, commercial, industrial, or even agricultural, the first step is to dig a borewell. Prior to beginning the process of digging a borewell, we must locate the greatest underground water source. The depth to ground water, or the water table, is determined by the earth's surrounding circumstances.
According to geologist Mike Peters, "the groundwater is shallow when you drill from a low spot and deep when we drill from a high point." Because greenery is more likely to be found in areas with shallow groundwater. Furthermore, certain vegetation species, such as cane or sycamore trees, favour a damp atmosphere.
How to find underground water to dig borewells?
- The location and topography of a place determine the characteristics of its groundwater.
- Through the use of passive seismic or aerial electromagnetic surveys, geophysical surveys allow us to determine the structural weaknesses of the earth's surface. We map the topography and discover porous strata in some cases.
- Our team of geologists at Elango Borewells examines the distribution of various rock types both above and below the surface while using ground water testing techniques.
- We locate aquifers with permeability that is comparatively uniform. There are rocks that may have big fissures and holes big enough to hold water.
- The wells that are already in place at the site are also a valuable resource for our team of hydrologists. The type of rocks that the well's walls penetrate and the volume of water that is pumped or supplied out of the aquifer and into the well can provide indications about a good quantity of water source.
