borewells
A borewell is a narrow hole drilled into the ground to access groundwater. It is a common method for obtaining a water supply, particularly in rural and agricultural areas. The drilling process involves using specialized equipment to penetrate soil and rock layers until an aquifer, a subterranean layer of permeable rock or sediment that holds and transmits groundwater, is reached. The depth of a borewell can vary significantly depending on local geological conditions and the depth of the water table.
Once the desired depth is achieved, a casing, typically made of PVC or steel pipe, is installed.
The water extracted from borewells can be used for various purposes including drinking water, irrigation, and
