How do you tell when you hit water when drilling a well?
“Drillers identify water-bearing formations by monitoring changes in drill cuttings, drilling fluid, drilling resistance, and water entering the borehole. After groundwater is encountered, well flow testing is performed to determine whether the aquifer can produce enough water for the property's needs and to help determine the appropriate pump and system design.”
View in the company profileHow does rotary air drilling help identify water-bearing formations?
“Rotary air drilling uses compressed air and a small amount of water to remove drill cuttings and cool the drill bit. When the drill reaches a water-bearing formation, groundwater is carried to the surface with the cuttings. This allows the driller to evaluate the amount of water being produced before determining whether the aquifer can provide an adequate water supply.”
