Things to Consider When Water Bore Drilling

When it comes to water bore drilling, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible. This article discusses these factors to ensure you have all the facts before moving forward with your project.

How does a water bore work?

Water bore drilling is an underground method of extracting water from rock. The bedrock is fractured, and then water is pumped into a well that is dug into the bedrock. The water then rises to the surface to be used as needed.


Should you drill a water bore?

Many factors go into deciding whether to drill a water bore or not before starting the process. It is important to consider a few essential factors to determine if it is a viable option for you. Keep in mind that it is always wise to work with an experienced professional to ensure the project is done accurately and on time.


Here are some things to consider:

  • A water bore does not require a hole that gets as deep as a well
  • It offers a quick and targeted system for purifying the water
  • It can be used to access water that would otherwise be inaccessible or inaccessible at a high cost
  • Water bores offer an economical way to increase access to groundwater. They can deepen groundwater sources and function like a well or a pump to reach contaminated aquifers
