DIY Water Well Drilling

This site provides a nice general overview of ground water occurrence and simple drilling machinery and methods. I'm not a big fan of the UN, but I will admit that this is a pretty good publication.

Section 4 goes into detail concerning the construction of small-diameter water wells via different well-drilling methods. A good deal of information on building the drilling machinery is included. Section 4.7 is a interesting sections demonstrating DIY well casing and screen.

If nothing else, I sincerely hope people understand one thing by studying through the linked materials and other postings from my blog: hand drilling a well is not beyond your reach. It takes time and effort. You might fail and be required to start over multiple times. But...it can be done.

  7. A few years ago my family and I moved onto property that had a well. It was great to have a well on the property. We did not have to find water in the area. It was easy to build a house on the property. I am grateful how easy the process was. http://www.brewsterwelldrilling.com/en/artesian-water-wells.htm
