Over simplified explanation of static water level and where the aquifer in the well. Most times, the aquifer (sand) is much deeper than the static water level. Depends on porosity of the sand and other factors as to what the draw down and recharge rate is. Just because water is at a certain depth, it does not mean it will stay at the depth when pumping.
True, but draw down from pumping and static water level are seperate issues. The purpose of this video is to select a hand pump for a well. There is no draw down in almost all wells with a hand pump (exception being small sand point wells)
@@penchenko Guess I was thinking solar pump moving a larger volume. Thank you for pointing out about using a hand pump which you are right about. And, handpumps are overlooked as they are "old school" pumps but work very well.
Very well presented. Very informative! Thank you!
My well had a little plackard with the total depth, pump depth & static water level.
Very nice😂 super cool
How much lower should a submergable
pump be below static water level
So what if water is almost at the top of the dirt
Then the SWL is 1ft
