| Dewatering and Pumping |
Trinity Woods and Acres is a 7.5 acres residential community. As part of Rainwater Harvesting implementation it was decided to dig a 6ft diameter and 40ft deep recharge well at one of the lowest points in the layout that is near their currently yielding borewell (which is adjacent to Sarjapura Road)
 |
| 6ft of Water |
 |
| Dewatering with a bucket does not work out |
Work proceeded uneventfully till we struck water at about 9ft. The water had no odour, looked clean , pH 7.5 and TDS 1100ppm. The water seemed to continuously flow in at about 6-10 litres per minute. This made further digging difficult and with a dewatering pump we were able to deepen the well only till about 15ft below ground level. Water had to continually be pumped out every 5-10 minutes to aid digging. Rings were placed immediately to prevent the collapse of the mud walls.
 |
| Discussing Next Steps |
Work was temporarily put on hold due to Ganesh Chaturthi. When we returned 4 days hence to the well this morning we saw clean water - about 6-7ft of it ( 5000 litres +). The apartment is of course very happy and would like to see the well as a source of water
Some of the key questions to which we would like to find answers for are :
- How much water will this well yield per day and for how many days of the year ?
- Is this rainwater ? What is causing the high TDS .
 |
| Covering the Well temporarily - after End of Day |
- How are the soil/rock layers below this source of water ? How is it that water is available at 9ft below ground level and not at 1000ft below ground level in the same vicinity
Further monitoring and data collection will reveal interesting results. We are quite looking forward to it
