QUESTION
Borewell depth 120 feet, water mixed with dust and not able to pump water - Should I dig new borewell ?

Dear sir,

I have drilled a borewell in Fursungi, Pune, Maharashtra. I have drilled it to about 250 feet and we found water at 110 ft and at 120 feet the water was mixed with dust. We flushed the borewell with high pressure compressor and when we checked with a submersible pump no water came out. My question is:

  • Where has the water gone?
  • What are the solutions
  • Do I have dig a new borewell.

Thanks
Sandip
