Why Borehole Depth Matters: A Crucial Factor in Water Availability
At Dragon Drilling, we’re experts in borehole drilling and understand the importance of addressing your queries. A common question we receive is about borehole depth and its significance. While the deepest borehole ever drilled reached a staggering 7.6 miles, our focus is on providing practical solutions for your water needs. Here’s why borehole depth plays a crucial role:
Understanding the Link Between Depth and Water Yield:
The amount of water your borehole can produce is directly connected to its depth. This is because we line the borehole with a perforated casing, allowing water to seep in through the perforations. A deeper borehole translates to more casing installed, consequently allowing for a greater volume of water to fill the borehole and ultimately be available for your use.
Matching Borehole Depth to Your Water Requirements:
If you have high water requirements, drilling to a greater depth becomes necessary. This ensures a consistent and sufficient water supply to meet your needs. Our experience suggests that an average residential borehole typically reaches a depth of 60-80 metres. This depth generally provides a reliable source of water in most settings.
Location-Specific Assessments for Optimal Depth:
Regardless of the general range, we understand that every location has unique geological characteristics. To determine the ideal depth for your borehole, we conduct a thorough survey of your property. This survey helps us accurately assess the local groundwater conditions and identify the depth required to reach a productive water source.
