[@hi-z]

@@vaishnavivodnala3223 im not sure I thought maybe it was where water was stored. I live in California and it is rare for you to use well water here so its not something I was exposed to much. What a difference in Texas, where many people use well water only on their properties

In fairness, even though I knew there was water underground, I wasn't exactly sure how that water got *into* the wells.

[@joeycad]

There is a newer device called a wash down valve for " jetting" in wells in non rock subsurfaces.( as yet there is no demonstration on youtube ) Recipricating Rodpumps as used in windmills and oilwells can be used in very deep and small diameter wells.

@@Imbalto everyone just tends to stumble upon a video on this platform, it just so you landed on a channel that is pretty educational and very useful for some "extra" knowledge. Btw, since you study hydrodynamics, what's the difference between hydrodynamics and fluid dynamics?

[@Imbalto]

@@alexlim5787 As far as I know (im still a student) fluid dynamics is used for moving bodies of fluids (Rivers, canals, wind, etc) and hydrodynamics has to do with systems that involve hydraulic pressures that drive the motion of the fluids (such as the motion of groundwater in response to gravity, outlet areas, and other forces) And to reiterate Don't take my word as fact. i'm still learning

I looked this up while drunk, thank you for entertaining drunk me and educating sober me👍

[@Kimberlyworks-ps2wm]

My understanding is if say a extremely big drought happens in the USA, there will be no ground water to seep down to the bottom, which will cause all the wells to dry up, right? But if we see this happening and quickly decide to fill up large containers we might end up with a sink hole. One day when my well pipe was leaking for weeks, my neighbors complained that her water pressure was low, this must means my well is dug deeper than hers or maybe the ground water was running low because of my leak, right? I look up how wells work because I had a dream all wells ran dry. Almost all my dream are of future events. With global warming this is highly possible and I hope to prepare as best as I can.

[@robbyfiveboy4862]

I live in the Philippines and am having a dug well installed right as I write this. Two questions: My water was found at 35 feet down. What determines how high the well will fill? What stops the well filling all the way up to the top or even overflowing?? Second question: The well was dug at the end of our dry season. Does the rainy season offer more flow to the aquifer? Can I expect an increased flow rate or higher reserve? Great video THANKS!!!

[@redbolor]

According to studies rainy season does affect your well, higher reserves and an increased flow rate, As for finding water at 35 feet the determining on how high the well will fill depends on how high your water table is to the surface. Wells don't overflow as the water table always has room, it will be higher or lower. seeing as your water table is 35 feet below surface level. these deep wells don't overflow

[@hothmandon]

My grandparents had a private well. I know that well water and public city water taste way different from each other. I also know that copper pipes can give water a metallic taste, lead pipes are poison, and steel pipes are perfect.

[@southronjr1570]

They failed to mention a condition about water tables in areas with lakes. If there is a man made lake in your area, the lake itself will change the level of the water table. An example, my GG Grandparents home has a hand dug stone lined well that fed water to their house for litterally centuries, about 3 miles down the road, the state came in and damned a local river creating a large lake and the month the lake began filling, the hand dug well went dry. We still have a separate water source of a naturally occurring spring that actually feeds the lake many miles down stream and my Grandfather converted it to feed water water to the house and barns and it has not once gone dry since 1913 with the exception of when the cistern the spring runs in to sits up with sand. We have to go down about every 10 years and run the pump wide open and use another pump to drain the cistern so we can get in and shovel out all the sand that has come up through the spring fissure. The way this problem was discovered was by me when after over 50 years running fine, the pump started sucking air. We uncovered the cistern and is was slap full of sand, I had to get down into the cistern and dig it all out by hand which trust me, sucks.

I was hoping to learn what the area is defined as, that your water is sucked up from, if it is not in a designated aquifer?

[@TheCommanderDash]

how does the screen at the bottom not clog over time?

[@DOI_ARTS]

If your screen or filter doesnt touch the ground underwater it wont really get stuck (not quickly but you still have to service it), ours is floating just above the ground so no soil or stone are really sucked in

Rewatching the walking dead and Marshall farm house still had running water due to multiple wells on the property. But 5:15 shows u still need electric wiring to pump the water up. As I’m watching I notice he has lamps on in the house as well so maybe he has multiple generators. I guess my question is it possible to have running water from your well without electricity?

[@ConcerningReality]

You could have a hand pump, and a water tank on the roof, but you would have to frequently pump from the well to the tank on the roof.

[@gregorbrohman3388]

at about the 5 min mark you made reference to well pumps, and you stated that jet pumps are the most common but they can only be used to about 20 foot of depth. I believe you are mistaking a jet pump with a "Shallow Well Pump" which is not much better than a pitcher pump when we talk about true atmospheric pumping depth. The Jet well pump comes with a down the hole spray nozzle below the water table which can be in excess of 70 feet in depth thereby forcing the water up out of the well and into a pressure reservoir. This you tube video will help in understanding(even though he miss speaks a few times; kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHqlm2eped2Soq8
