In 2007, on the recommendations of the International Water Management Institute, the Indian government allocated ₹ 1,800 crore (equivalent to ₹ 54 billion or US$630 million in 2023) to fund dug-well recharge projects (a dug-well is a wide, shallow well, often lined with concrete) in 100 districts within seven states where water stored in ...
Depth-to-water measurements can be made inside the sampling tubing using small-diameter water-level meters. Optional dedicated pressure transducers facilitate continuous, long-term pressure monitoring. Water FLUTe systems are described further by Einarson (2006) [1] and Cherry et al. (2007) and by accessing the FLUTe website.
Deep well pumps extract groundwater from subterranean aquifers, offering a reliable source of water independent of municipal networks. These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought.
Man cleaning a well in Yaoundé, Cameroon Hand pump to pump water from a well in a village near Chennai in India, where the well water might be polluted by nearby pit latrines. Shallow pumping wells can often supply drinking water at a very low cost. However, impurities from the surface easily reach shallow sources, which leads to a greater ...
The aims of ERD are: a) to reach a larger area from one surface drilling location, and b) to keep a well in a reservoir for a longer distance in order to maximize its productivity and drainage capability. Today's challenges in ERD are hole cleaning, managing the mechanical loads on the drill string and downhole pressure, and cost. [1]
The pressure-sensitive plugs are calibrated to hold water up to a certain pressure level which is higher than normal ground water pressure. Once the pore water pressure is increased to higher than that level due to an earthquake, the plugs will be released into the manhole and the water from the surrounding soils can be drained into the manhole ...

A deeper well, or piezometer, measured the potentiometric surface, determined by the water level observed when submerged and sealed. The associated change in pressure between the shallow well and piezometer, and the corresponding length, usually taken as the distance between the center of the two well screens, can be applied to Darcy's Law to ...
