Warning signs of water borehole problems
Are you wondering how to tell when your borehole needs repairs? Read more for common signs of borehole problems you should watch out for.
We have been providing clean water to humanity since the dawn of time. It is a tried and tested method that gives better-tasting water that can also be off the grid. However, there are problems that could make that water unsafe to drink or stop you from pumping completely. Fortunately, you can read the warning signs before you get to a broken borehole. If you can act in a timely manner, you can avoid costly repairs.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WELL AND A BOREHOLE
A question we often get asked is; what is the difference between a well and a water borehole?

Any type of well or borehole works by extracting water from an underground source found beneath the permeable rock. Water is naturally filtered through small fishers within the rock, reducing the presence of sediment and contaminants. This means that, with the right structure and lining, it can be used as a reliable source of drinking water.

Wells are especially common in third-world countries where access to fresh water is limited. Charities and NGOs will often fund installation in rural or urban communities in order to provide drinking and sanitation facilities for local people. However, this type of water source is becoming increasingly unreliable and so people are turning towards water boreholes for rural homes, farms, and leisure facilities as a way to reduce carbon footprint and save money long term.

Whilst it may seem like a well and a water borehole essentially do the same thing, there are some notable differences between the two.

Borehole Drilling Methods
Mud Drilling
Drilling mud, also called drilling fluid, aids in the process of drilling a borehole into the earth. Such holes are drilled for oil and gas extraction, core sampling, and other purposes.

Reverse Circulation Drilling
The reverse circulation drilling system is quite unlike any of the other systems profiled in that it is a very large rig requiring a big footprint for both the rig itself, as well as the machine-dug settling pit.

Sludge Drilling
Hand sludging (also known as Asian, or Indian sludging) is a traditional technique used in parts of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. It involves reciprocating a steel pipe (of 25 to 40mm diameter) vertically in a shallow pit, which is kept full of water. The reciprocating action is achieved by a lever, which is attached to a bamboo frame. One operator operates the lever while the other uses his hand over the top like a flap valve. On the upstroke, the hand covers the pipe, while on the downstroke it lifts off. This action enables the cuttings to be carried up through the drill pipe and exit at the top.

Borehole Drilling Methods
There are various borehole drilling methods that can be used, and the best option for your specific situation will depend on the ground conditions and other factors. Here is an overview of the most common drilling methods.
1. Air Rotary Drilling
Air rotary drilling is a method for wellbore excavation. It involves the circulation of air through the drill pipe to cool the spinning drill bit. Air rotary drilling is used to drill deep boreholes in rock formations and may be effective where other drilling methods fail. It’s one of the excavation techniques available to trenchless construction operators. Air rotary drilling may also be referred to as rotary air blast drilling.
2. Cable Drilling
A method of drilling whereby an impact tool or bit, suspended in the well from a steel cable, is dropped repeatedly on the bottom of the hole to crush the rock. The tool is usually fitted with some sort of cuttings basket to trap the cuttings along the side of the tool.

It's Thursday Already
Strength does not come from a physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
_Mahatma Gandi_

Borehole drilling involves several key processes and steps to reach the desired depth and ensure the borehole is functional for its intended purpose. Here’s a general overview of the borehole drilling process:

1. Site Investigation and Planning
Geological Survey: Assess the geological conditions to determine the best drilling location.
Environmental Impact Assessment: Evaluate the potential environmental impact and obtain necessary permits.
Hydrogeological Survey: Identify the water table and aquifer characteristics if drilling for water.

2. Drilling Preparation
Mobilization: Transport drilling equipment and materials to the site.
Site Preparation: Clear and level the site, and set up safety barriers and signage.
Drilling Rig Setup: Assemble and position the drilling rig.

3. Drilling Process
Spudding In: Start the drilling process using a pilot hole to guide the main drilling.
Drilling Methods: Use appropriate drilling techniques based on geological conditions (e.g., rotary drilling, percussion drilling, auger drilling).
Rotary Drilling: Uses a rotating drill bit to cut through rock.
Percussion Drilling: Uses repeated impacts to break rock.
Auger Drilling: Uses a helical screw blade to remove material.
Drill Bit Selection: Choose the appropriate drill bit based on soil and rock hardness.

4. Drilling Fluids and Circulation
Drilling Mud: Use drilling fluids (mud) to cool the drill bit, remove cuttings, and stabilize the borehole walls.
Mud Circulation: Pump drilling mud down the drill string and up the annulus to the surface.

5. Casing and Well Construction
Installing Casing: Insert casing pipes to prevent the borehole from collapsing and to isolate different underground layers.
Cementing: Pump cement into the annulus between the casing and borehole wall to provide stability and prevent contamination.
Well Screen Installation: Install a well screen at the aquifer level to allow water to enter while keeping out sediments (for water wells).

6. Logging and Testing
Geophysical Logging: Use logging tools to record data on the geological formations encountered.
Well Testing: Conduct tests to evaluate the well’s performance, such as flow rate and water quality tests.

7. Completion and Development
Borehole Development: Clean the borehole to remove drilling fluids and debris, and enhance water flow.
Wellhead Installation: Install the wellhead equipment, including pumps and piping.
Grouting: Apply a grout seal around the wellhead to prevent surface contamination.

8. Monitoring and Maintenance
Monitoring: Regularly check the borehole for signs of wear, contamination, and performance issues.
Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance to ensure the borehole remains functional and safe.

Key Considerations
Safety: Implement safety protocols to protect workers and equipment.
Environmental Protection: Minimize environmental impact through proper waste disposal and site restoration.
Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to local, state, and federal regulations governing borehole drilling.

The exact processes and techniques can vary depending on the purpose of the borehole (e.g., water, oil, geothermal) and the geological conditions at the drilling site.
