Query on borewell problem

Hi,

The borewell we dug was 6 1/2", initially we had dug 135feet. Contractor said we got loose soil after 60feet and he advised a casing pipe till 135 feet. We agreed and put casing pipe till 135 feet. We got stone at 135-140feet, hence continued drilling till 560feet. Contractor said we have got 1" of water. We have installed a Crompton 3hp, 4" , 3phase pumpset, at 510 feet. We switched on the for the first time and we got water for15min and then the water flow stopped. Again we gave a gap for 30min and turned on the pump, and got water for 10min and then it stopped.

Kindly let me know what is going wrong, we need expert advise.

Thanks

Sagar
