Borewell water level drop, able to pump water only for 3-4 mins: Does the bore need flushing?

Submitted by mistkhan on January 21, 2012 - 08:29

Hi, 

We had drilled borewell in 2003. I don't have the complete information regarding the borewell. Couple of years back, there was big hole around the borewell and mud entered into the borewell. From then on, water level started dropping. I have an immersible motor to pump water from borewell to the sump. Now there are 2 or more bores drilled by other house owners. Now I see a complete drop in water level. On powering the pump, there will be water for 3-4 min after which there will be no water. If I try after 3-4 hours I will get water for 3-4min. 

1. Is this behaviour due to the fact that the water level gone down, or,

2. Does the bore need flushing?

Can anyone visit my house and advice on resolving this issue.

Groundwater and artificial recharge investigations around proposed site of the Devi Ratn Hotel, Ballupura, Jaipur, Rajasthan - A report by Green Systems

Green Systems has prepared this report on the possibilities of creating a system for the recharge of groundwater for the Devi Ratn Hotel in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The proposal is an in-depth study of the geo-morphological setup of the area; there are also findings on geology and hydrology and the area's climate and rainfall and groundwater resources.

The final proposal is based on these findings and consists of a series of diagrams that not only suggest the design of various recharge structures but also their placements around the hotel site.

Rapid investigations to assess impacts of aquifer recharge - Tumkur district (Karnataka) - A report by ACWADAM and BIRD-K

TumkurThis report by ACWADAM is a synopsis of the hydrogeological study carried out for BIRD-K in Pavagada, Sira and Bagepalli areas of Tumkur District, Karnataka. The study aimed at an impact analysis of recharge through borewells as well as suggesting new sites for the same.

The principle objectives of the study were:Read More

  •  Impact analysis of aquifer recharge through borewells done by BIRD-K in Pavagada and Sira Clusters
  • Suggest new sites for aquifer recharge through borewells in Bagepalli cluster.

The methodology used a background study of the area through images from Google Earth. A detailed geological fieldwork in the area was carried out. Various structural and hydrogeological measurements were made to map out the aquifer systems within the area. Water levels in borewells and dug wells were measured. The study area included seven watersheds and falls in two clusters namely Pavagada and Sira. Both these clusters are located in the Tumkur district of Karnataka.
