Big day … substantial water infiltration into the well !
We now have 6 culverts installed in the well creating a
strong “well reservoir” for the pump to hang in, and producing string rising to
the surface. The total well depth is 13 meters and we currently have a meter of
water in the bottom of the well … water surface is at 12 meters. We will now
let the well sit idle for 24 hours, looking to achieve a total water depth of 2
meters. This will indicate enough flow from this water table to provide
continuous supply for the orphanage, the school, and some neighbors also.
In the picture, the ripples are actually from the water
flowing into the well … a very good sign.
In the other picture, the 6 culverts are visible … each
culvert is approximately 29” tall … the camera’s viewpoint makes that dimension
difficult to get a proper scale perspective.
