This is the second installment of my attempt to dig a small irrigation well by hand. I am not claiming to be an expert, this is my first well and I am simply trying to work out solutions to problems as they happen. Sometimes things just don't work out the way I think they should. Other times the solution becomes clear only after some trial and error. Take what you can from my experience and be sure to watch all the parts. My soil is about 8 feet of loam\clay with about a 5 foot layer of essentially straight river bed rocks followed by a layer of sand and small gravel. It is the type of soil you are not supposed to be able to hand drill a stable well by we are doing it. In the various videos I talk about the modifications I made to the auger based upon the conditions of the soil encountered. Hey I wrote a book, a book about zombies. What can I say I love me a good zombie apocalypse story. You can get it on Kindle, check it out? I would love some feedback and maybe if you liked it could you help me out a leave a

the area of an good enough groundwater supply is the first step in constructing a hand dug nicely. if the water source is contaminated or no longer considerable sufficient to support use then the properly will quickly turn out to be deserted. there are limitless nicely documented technologically superior techniques for locating groundwater along with: far off sensing, gravity and magnetic techniques (such as aerogravity and aeromagnetic surveys), seismic, electric, electromagnetic, and radioactive strategies. but, these methods are usually luxurious and do not pertain to situations where hand dug wells are meant. the place of other floor water resources is a key indicator of groundwater. if floor water resources exist then it is first-class to use the topography of the land to decide an appropriate properly place. if no different surface water assets are gift, then topographic maps of the location are the fine method for finding groundwater. if those are not to be had and can't be with ease created then the next first-rate method is to look in which previous wells have been built. while the usage of this technique the already built properly need to be tested for its recharge price to examine that the groundwater supply is ample sufficient for a second nicely. the lifestyles of a previous well also opens the opportunity to test the groundwater for infection. if the original well has been deserted then there must be warning earlier than building a 2d. the aquifer recharge price ought to be determined in addition to checking out for any infection that would have lead to the nicely's closure. strategies for this are designated underneath.
