If you operate a farm or greenhouse, you may be interested in increasing your water yield. Well drilling provides a safe and cost-effective way to produce clean water for irrigation. Groundwater is obtained from aquifers that reach below the earth’s crust, and the yield will vary depending on where the well is drilled. Below, is a list to help understand how drilling can maximize well water for your crop irrigation.

3 Ways to Improve Irrigation With Well Drilling

1. Location of the Well

Determining where to drill the well for maximum output will take careful planning. The well water supply must meet several requirements, including flow rate, well size, and static water level. All of these factors will establish how the well performs.

Well Drilling2. Hydro Fracking

A drilling contractor will sometimes recommend hydro fracking to increase the flow rate in a well with a low yield. The process involves filling the well with water to build up a high-pressure environment. The pressure forces additional bedrock pores to open and release more water. This method will provide additional water for irrigation.

3. Experienced Well Contractor

Your local drilling contractor will have experience in choosing the appropriate methods to provide adequate levels of water for irrigation. An experienced well drilling company will provide minimum yield quotes based on the soil structure and bedrock. The well water pump will need to be sized properly, based on the desired flow rate. Further, once the well is operational, the irrigation system can be set up to only distribute water to areas that need it to minimize waste.
