Hi, I recently got a borewell drilled (4.5 inch) at my home, the casing was done till 50 feet as stone was found at that depth. At around 70 feet there was a glimpse of water (the driller said its a crack). The borewell was dug till 200 feet and unfortunately due the capacity of the drilling machine it could not go beyond 200 feet. But during the process of drilling there was intermitant wet soil flushing out, at 200 feet the wetness was heavy and there was some amount of water flushed out. The driller said, the crack at 70 feet caused some water to leak and therefore the wet soil. He also said its 3/4th inch water.
Later I gotten a submersible motor installed, at the time of installation engineer checked the depth of the borewell and found out that the depth is till 180 feet (he says the bore could have collapsed underneath), so he installed the submersible pump at 160th feet. It has been a week now and I have been observing that when I switch on the pump, I get continuos flow of water up 10 to 15 mins, then the water stops, again after 5 mins gap the pumping of water occurs upto 5 mins. So if I switch on the water pump for every 2 hours I am getting water upto 10 to 15 mins. I would like to take an adivse on the health of the borewell, should I consider this borewell as a failure and go for a new borewell? Or is there a possibility of slowing down the pumping speed so that I get continuous flow of water without frequently monitoring it?
Also, I would like to harvest rainwater that currently drains out, what are the best options available can you suggest some contacts in Hyderabad who can help me harvest rainwater? Someone told rainwater harvesting would keep the stock of water in borewell at a decent level?
Appreciate your response.
Best Regards,
