Borewell depth 135 ft, not working now after two months of not using the borewell, need help, Tumkur, Karnataka

(Query received through email from K. Kasinath Sastry)

Hi,

Borewell depth is 135 feet and have been using it since 1992 in Tumkur, Karnataka. It has a stell casing pipe of about 90 feet. In May 2012, the borewell was not used for two months and post that we have not been able to use the bore.  We have installed a submersible type pump. After getting it checked we found that static water level was about 6 feet from the base.

These are a few options available to us, can you suggest us which would be the best way to solve this issue

  • To go for Hydro fracturing
  • To go for further drilling by another 100 feet or so.
  • To go for fresh drilling at another location.
  • Any other suitable method available.
