QUESTION
Need advice on water getting filled up in an empty bore
Hi, We have drilled 2 borewells of depth 420 feet and 820 feet in our farm 1 month back. While drilling, we did not get any water in both the borewells. Now after a month, in 420 ft depth borewell we could see water level at about 20 ft from the top. We emptied the bore till 280 feet using a submersible motor and it took about half a day for the water to fill the borewell to the 20 ft level again. In the other bore at 820 ft, the water level is at 430 ft below the ground. After hydro fracturing, the water level in this borewell increased to another 60ft. Now the water level is at 490 ft. I want to know will there be sufficient water for irrigation if we try to get the water out using a submersible motor. Note: All the bores in the near by area and well are dry. We are almost in a drought hit area. Also, I want some ideas for utilizing this water to save trees. Thanks
