  2. Well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well

    Diagram of a water well partially filled to level z with the top of the aquifer at z T. For a well with impermeable walls, the water in the well is resupplied from the bottom of the well. The rate at which water flows into the well will depend on the pressure difference between the ground water at the well bottom and the well water at the well ...

  3. Well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling

    Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, brine, natural gas, or petroleum, for the injection of a fluid from surface to a subsurface reservoir or for subsurface formations evaluation or monitoring.

  4. Artesian well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artesian_well

    An artesian well is a well that brings groundwater to the surface without pumping because it is under pressure within a body of rock and/or sediment known as an aquifer. [1] When trapped water in an aquifer is surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay, which apply positive pressure to the water, it is known as an artesian aquifer. [1]

  5. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    Static level is the level of water in the well when no water is being removed from the well by pumping. [8] Water table is the upper level of the zone of saturation, an underground surface in which the soil or rock is permanently saturated with water. [9] Well yield is the volume of water per unit time that is produced by the well from pumping. [8]

  6. Ranney collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranney_collector

    A Ranney Collector is a type of radial well used to extract water from an aquifer with direct connection to a surface water source like a river or lake. The amount of water available from the collector is typically related more to the surface water source than to the piezometric surface of the aquifer. [1]

  7. Tube well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_well

    A tube well is a type of water well in which a long, 100–200 millimetres (3.9–7.9 in)-wide, stainless steel tube or pipe is bored underground. The lower end is fitted with a strainer, and a pump lifts water for irrigation. The required depth of the well depends on the depth of the water table.
