Digging Wells in Africa:How it Works. Just one way The Water Project provides access to safe water. It's hard to believe that more often than not, the clean water a developing community desperately needs is right underneath them. And it's amazing how a relativly small investment to get to it can make such a dramatic difference in so many lives.Web

Borehole – The borehole should be about 50mm (2 inches) wider all around than the well casing. The borehole needs to be clear of obstructions all the way down, and should be deep enough to reach the lowest expected water level. Casing – The well casing lines the borehole and is often made of PVC pipe. As stated above, if the borehole is ...Web

Dug wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe. Historically, a dug well was excavated below the groundwater table until incoming water exceeded the digger's bailing rate. The well was then lined (cased) with stones, brick, tile, or other material to prevent collapse. It was covered with a cap of wood, stone, or concrete.Web

Here is a brief overview of the process for creating some common types of wells: 1. Dug wells. Dug wells are the most traditional and simple type of water well. They are excavated by hand, using shovels and other hand tools. To create a dug well, workers first identify an area where the water table is likely to be shallow.Web

Most wells are vertical shafts, but they may also be horizontal or at an inclined angle. Horizontal wells are commonly used inbank filtration, where surface water is extracted via recharge through river bed sediments into horizontal wells located underneath or next to a stream.

Depths of hand-dug wells range from shallow dug wells (about5 metres in depth) to deep dug wells (over 20 metres in depth). An excavation of about 1.5 metres in diameter provides adequate working space for the diggers and will allow a final internal diameter of about 1.2 metres after the well has been lined (WATERAID 2008).Web
