Hello,

We drilled a borewell eight years ago. The following are the details:

• 60 feet dry gap
• 70 feet trickle/light source
• 80 feet water source
• Motor-300
• Water level - 280
• Bore end - 340

Initially we were informed by geologist that we have got atleast 4 inch water and there would be no shortage for water. Infact, the drilling was not possible after 340 ft. We had no issues for three years even during summers. Now we have shortage of water. We got the borewell scanned and found the above details. The problem seems to be that between 240 and 260 ft there is a cavity/pocket/break/gap and all the water from our source is flowing out of this cavity extremely fast . Thus, not allowing our water level to increase, most likely after a bore was drilled some distance from our farm 100 mts away. What do you suggest to resolve this issue? Should we plan to dig further or is there any other way to block the cavity/gap? Will drilling further be possible? Many bores in our area go in excess of 500 plus.
