WHY DO SOME BOREHOLES PRODUCE MORE WATER THAN OTHERS? It comes down to what’s happening below the surface. Aquifer thickness, permeability, hydraulic conductivity, fracture density and connectivity, recharge, and the depth at which water-bearing zones are encountered all influence borehole yield. Then comes the construction itself borehole diameter, casing and screen design, gravel packing, proper development and well efficiency can determine how effectively groundwater enters the borehole. Finally, the pumping rate and drawdown matter: a borehole may encounter a good aquifer but still perform poorly if it is improperly developed or over-pumped. That’s why two boreholes only a short distance apart can produce very different yields. At Antonliner Boreholes, we don’t judge a borehole by depth alone we investigate the formation, construct the well correctly and test its performance before sizing the pump. The water is underground. The science tells us how to get it out properly.
