  2. Shallow water drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_drilling

    Shallow water drilling is the process of oil and gas exploration and production in less than 150 meters (500 feet) of water. [1] Shallow water drilling differs from deepwater drilling in several key aspects. Shallow water rigs have legs that reach the bottom of the sea floor and have blowout preventers (BOPs) above the surface of the water that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_storage_and_recovery

    The first agriculture ASR wells were put into service in Oregon in the autumn of 2006 and have injected well over 3,000 acre-feet (3,700,000 m 3) of water during the winter and spring flood flow times using artificial recharge (AR) of flood water as their water source. This shallow recharged water is then recovered as potable water and injected ...

  4. Watertable control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watertable_control

    In geotechnical engineering, watertable control is the practice of controlling the height of the water table by drainage.Its main applications are in agricultural land (to improve the crop yield using agricultural drainage systems) and in cities to manage the extensive underground infrastructure that includes the foundations of large buildings, underground transit systems, and extensive ...

    A non-exempt well is a well capable of producing more than 17.36 gallons per minute, and must submit semi-annual water well production reports to the District at a rate of $0.155 per 1,000 gallons.

  6. 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.

    increased storage of groundwater that may be used for irrigation, municipal, household, and drinking water by pumping from wells; waterlogging and drainage problems in villages, agricultural lands, and along roads - with mostly negative consequences. The increased level of the water table can lead to reduced agricultural production. shallow ...

    The problem is most severe in the Terai region, the worst being near Nawalparasi District, where 26 percent of shallow wells failed to meet WHO standard of 10 ppb. A study by Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Environment in the Kathmandu Valley showed that 72% of deep wells failed to meet the WHO standard, and 12% failed to meet ...

  9. Well drainage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drainage

    The design of the well field concerns depth, capacity, discharge, and spacing of the wells. [1] The discharge is found from a water balance. [2] The depth is selected in accordance to aquifer properties. The well filter must be placed in a permeable soil layer. The spacing can be calculated with a well spacing equation using discharge, aquifer ...
