Ground Water Resources Development and Utilization.
101110610108101030900 Ground water has been a source of drinking water and irrigation since the dawn of recorded history.
When pumping starts, the water in the well is drawn down and the water starts to flow into the well from the water-bearing formation because the water level or pressure inside the well during pumping is lower than in the aquifer … 101110610108101030900 Open wells have been the major means of domestic water supply throughout the span of the recorded history of mankind.
Open wells are used mainly for three purposes: (1) to extract ground water from fine grained aquifers of shallow depth, where the danger of entering small particles requires a large area of contact with the aquifer, (2) to tap ground water in hard rock areas and (3) to serve as reservoirs for ground water slowly replenishing the well.
Storage of water in an open well permits its p… 1011106101081010303001030900 A large number of tube wells are installed every year for irrigation, drinking water supply and industries.
1011106101081010303001030900 Tube well construction involves three distinct operations.
These include drilling the bore hole, installing the casing and well screen, and developing the well to ensure sand-free operation at maximum yield.
However, it has been experienced that a large number of tube wells constructed at high costs operate at very low efficiencies or fail completely.
This was followed by the development of positive-displacement piston p… S D Khepar, M E (Roorkee), Ph D. (IIT, Delhi); A M Michael, M Tech, Ph.
