Understanding Borewells: Your Questions Answered
Before embarking on the process of drilling a borewell, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the fundamentals.
What is a Borewell?
A borewell is a deep, narrow well drilled into the ground to access groundwater from underlying aquifers. A casing pipe is inserted to prevent collapse and contamination, and a pump is used to draw water to the surface. In Hyderabad, borewells can range from 100 feet to over 2300 feet deep to reach reliable water sources.
Types of Borewells in Hyderabad
The most common types of borewells are categorized by their diameter, catering to different needs:
- 4.5-inch Borewells: Primarily used for domestic purposes such as individual houses and small apartment buildings.
- 6.5-inch Borewells: Suitable for larger residential complexes, commercial establishments, and agricultural irrigation, offering a higher water yield.
The Lifespan of a Borewell
A properly constructed borewell can last for generations. Its lifespan is primarily dependent on the sustainability of the groundwater source. Should the water table deplete, options like deepening the existing borewell can be explored.
The Borewell Drilling Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
SV Drillers follows a systematic and scientific approach to borewell drilling, ensuring efficiency and success.
Step 1: Groundwater Survey and Point Identification
The most critical step is identifying a suitable location for drilling. SV Drillers collaborates with experienced hydro-geologists who employ scientific methods to pinpoint viable water sources. These methods include:
- Geological and Hydrogeological Studies: Analyzing the topography, rock formations, and existing water bodies in the area. The geology of Hyderabad is predominantly granite, which requires specialized drilling techniques.
- Resistivity Surveys: Passing a small electric current into the ground to measure resistance, which helps in identifying water-bearing zones.
- Satellite Imagery Analysis: Utilizing advanced technology to identify potential groundwater reserves.
Step 2: Obtaining Necessary Permissions
As per the Telangana Water, Land and Trees Act (WALTA), it is mandatory to obtain permission from the local Mandal Revenue Office (MRO) before drilling a new borewell. SV Drillers can guide you through this process to ensure all legal formalities are completed.
Step 3: The Drilling Operation
Once the point is finalized and permissions are secured, the drilling process commences. SV Drillers utilizes various drilling methods depending on the geological conditions:
- Rotary Drilling: A versatile method effective in a wide range of formations.
- Down-the-Hole (DTH) Hammer Drilling: The fastest and most efficient method for drilling in the hard rock prevalent in the Hyderabad region.
The drilling is carried out using truck-mounted rigs for easy accessibility. For sites with limited space, specialized equipment like Robo or Tractor-mounted rigs can be employed.
Step 4: Casing and Pipe Installation
After reaching the desired depth, casing pipes are installed to protect the borewell from collapsing and to prevent surface contaminants from entering the well. The choice of casing pipe is crucial for the longevity of the borewell:
- PVC Pipes: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective, making them a popular choice for many applications.[1]
- Mild Steel (MS) Pipes: Known for their strength and durability, ideal for deep borewells in hard rock formations.
- HDPE Pipes: Flexible and resistant to chemicals, suitable for various soil conditions.[2]
Step 5: Pump Installation and Water Testing
The final step is the installation of a submersible pump to draw water. The selection of the right pump is vital and depends on factors like the depth of the borewell, the water yield, and the required water pressure. SV Drillers provides expert guidance on choosing the appropriate pump and ensures its professional installation. Following installation, the water is tested for quality to ensure it is safe for its intended use.
