This open well off Sarjapura Road is 4ft in diameter and SIXTY feet
deep. It has just been dug. The rings and slabs are still to be placed.
At a depth of 60ft it is possibly the deepest well for a 4 feet diameter
or possibly even the deepest open well in the area for any diameter.
Pedanna and team have dug the well. The soil shows beautiful colours by
depth - distinct shades of yellow, white and red. Pedanna has kept the
soil in different heaps for us to inspect. The soil is crumbly
and certainly good for groundwater recharge. This well however has been
dug for extracting water - and hence the depth. Currently there is no
water in the well and so it will be used for groundwater recharge. Wish
there was a better camera/camera person to highlight the depth of the
well. The picture does no story telling. Standing next to the 60ft deep
well can bring a strange feeling to your stomach and to your heart
