BORE WELL RECHARGING | RAINWATER HARVESTING FOR TUBE WELL | RAJENDRA KALBAVI

Bore well or tube well recharging with rainwater is to be done very carefully and with little technical detailing. Since different methods are followed in different parts of the country, selection of a correct method to the right place for a given bore well will lead to effective use rainwater harvesting system. he is common system is explained for better understanding. Enjoy viewing and share with like minded people who are interested in this field.

If there are existing borewells around you can recharge them with the same method. It works

[@mangomuslim2166]

what if I pass rooftop rainwater directly to the borewell? - I will make sure the water is clean.

[@waterislife-rajendrakalbav2004]

Adding roof water directly after filtering is done by some individual. Normal it is not done for drinking purpose, but in agriculture purpose in dry areas. If leaving directly, it is better to see that the intake pipe reaches the bottem water level. Otherwise with gushing of water from top, there might be chances of caving in and block your borewell. Choice is yours 🙏

[@studyAt6]

i have done the same , even though my area has no water scarcity. i have 50*100 ft shade and both side slopes have gutter , water is collected at one point ! filtered through mesh and directly in borewell. over last 3 yrs i hv notice the hardness of my borewell has significantly reduced.

[@TapasKumarPradhan]

Thanks you sir for the video with detailed explanation. I have a doubt. If the same bore well is used to both recharge and take water out with help from submersible motor, then do we need more than required hp motor to pull the water considering the holes in the pipe and it might not be creating enough vacuum to pump the water to the surface. Kindly help to explain.

[@waterislife-rajendrakalbav2004]

No. Mr. Tapas. Same motor which you are already using is enough. The holes in the casing pipe does not create any vacuum not trouble the motor. The holes are top 10feet only. The motor is more than 100 feet below. The holes or slits on top only feed the water level below and helps to increase the water level. That's all.

Thanks. Explained well. I have one doubt. I have only 4 feet empty space between compound and building wall. If I do rain water harvesting pit 1 feet away from building wall like so my pit size would be 8 feet depth ...3 feet width and 6 feet length... would it affect my building ? I wonder whether it will cause one side of building sand to become loose and cause fractures in the wall or tilting the building or building concrete would absorb the water and rust the inner steel ... Please clarify

Is it possible to do borewell recharge of the ground which is clay. The ground used to be farm land a decade ago and If I am not wrong the ground water table is 10 or 12 feet. Would it be helpful in this type of ground?

Normally, if your building is a framed structure, this type of recharging will not affect your building. Give more details like building layout plan, location to my WhatsApp number. I will respond. Sorry for the late response

Yes. You can recharge the ground till the water table reaches 2 feet below the GL. clayey soil is not the point of worry as you are recharging water hundreds of feet below the GL directly to deep aquifer. Go ahead

Every well has its own catchment area. People call it confined aquifer. No wonder water goes down below, it should not get dried out. Tho increase that low level rainwater harvesting is needed. Sorry for the late reply

[@shaileshbhagat5102]

What will happen if we drain clean water directly from top of boarwel outlet..?

[@waterislife-rajendrakalbav2004]

Sorry for the late reply. There is a fear that if one leaves what are directly from the top the water may gush inside the tube and it may pullout small particles on the wall of the tube and on a letter date it might block the bore well all together. Sometimes caving in may happen. In my system water is made to slowly percolate in a smooth manner from all the sites at equal speed which is much safer and cautious approach. There are instances where people have let the water in directly from the top and have suffered no problem so far. It is up to the owner to take a call in this regard.

[@alfredpinto3890]

I am really glad that wells are recharged by rainwater harvesting. Yes we do it. 1.The last suggestion is the best suggestion to use open well water during rainy season, yes i am also of the same opinion, infact i had given in writing to the the Jilla Panchayath ten years back to order all panchayaths to clean up the government open wells and provide open well water in the rainy seaon to the families in pipe line as it rains heavily in the coastal area of karnataka. It saves 4 months underneath water if done so, and use the bore well water other times. Your suggestion is to be taken seriously by all. 2. A lot of water is wasted by sprinklers. Why cant we insist drip irrigation as it is working in western countries like Israel? The expertise help is needed when they face problems etc and by giving only subsidy the problem is not solved. Some have given up drip irrigation due to silt etc. I am sure water conservative department takes extra care to popularise this drip irrigation system among the village aggriculturists by giving timely assistance to solve the problems. I wish u all the best.

[@waterislife-rajendrakalbav2004]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I can add to your line of thinking 1. I am sorry to say that normally the Govt projects are done on need based and for immediate relief only, but not based on sustainable principles. For example, off late Govt, if releases money for borewell recharging, then few are done but not maintained for a long time. Here community participation playes a major role for mass action and on a long run. 2.Drip irrigation is being promoted by departments and the farmers are using but not to a large extent. Now scientific cleaning tanks and methods are available locally but the incentive to agricultural yield and not by free power supply and water. Hope slowly all will understand the need of preserving water and water source. Keep suggesting to improve my presentations.🙏

[@maaransarakkonraiyaar8059]

Dear sir I have seen a video in which local farmer uses the same outlet pipe which delivers water from the deep bore well (with the help of electrical motor pump) to send back collected rain water into the bore well. He creates a square pit in the field to which in normal days (with the help of a flexible hose pipe attached to the water outlet pipe from the bore well) he pumps water from the bore well. The collected water in the pit got distributed to the field by a canal . In rainy days the pit collects rain water from the field. He switches on the motor pump and as usual pumps the water to the pit Then he immerses the flexible hose pipe in the pit full of water.Then he switches of the motor pump. Now the water in the pit got sucked in to the flexible hose - of course which is already connected to the delivery pipe from the bore well. So the same pipe which pumped out water now sucks the water back in to the bore well. He simply uses a nylon mesh to cover the flexible hose which filters solid impurities. Is this a correct method? Please explain.

[@waterislife-rajendrakalbav2004]

Thank you very much for your comments and also information. This method is also possible, specially in the fields and farms where fresh rainwater collected is not contaminated with dirt or mud from the runoff water. If the water is not clean, the pump might get chocked. Technically it is safe and you are directly feeding the deep aquifer with CLEAN WATER ONLY. I have also seen runoff water/storm water being fed into dead borewell. That is also fine as far as dead borewell is concerned. The reason i have not touched this method is because i have focused on domestic borewells which provide drinking water in the cities and moreover one can hardly find such huge collection of water to feed borewell. ROOFTOP rainwater is much safe to harvest and also simultaneously use it. Thank you once again for sharing the information 🙏

Yes. You can feed live borewells in this method. I have done many. Check commercial tax building video. No issues. Algae will not form in 3 days or so. It needs a lot of sunlight.
