Groundwater ; Sources and Recharge

[@haridasification]

I too have connected my rainwater harvesting points one to my 1000 ft borewell and the other to my 10 ft well from past 12 years and i am having water in Bengaluru

[@archanasarat1]

Great content.My son in Grade 7 also understood the concept very well.

[@ag135i]

Verse useful and informative video and it provides different and accurate information unlike many other videos, thanks and kudos.

[@muralidharshenoykochi]

Very Well explained . The Govts. Shld make use of your knowledge and expertise for the good of the society and humanity. God bless you

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating wells.

Very great video Sunil Sir. Thanks for the gyaan on shallow wells in urban context.

[@sameerantapur]

Excellent content Mr Sunil. Can you please tell, 1. In Urban areas how do we identify that a shallow aquifier is available within our property? 2. If a shallow aquifier is not avaialble, can we create one through recharge? i..e dig a 30 feet wide pit and allow run off into it?

[@sagarbose1679]

Very Knowledgeable video yet again!!

[@kasivijayan4278]

Please suggest if we drop the drain water harvesting pipe to well directly...well depth 30 ft with 15 ft water ..some body suggest it is not advisable

[@mohinuddinshaik5279]

In November 2024, I got the borewell digged off 150 feet and installed 1 HP Texmo Motor in my plot, which is meant for a new house construction. Now the motor pumps out the water 💦 only for 15 minutes in day time with a each break of 15 minutes session. However, if I switch on the motor between 8 pm to 9 pm, the motor pumps out the water continuously for 40 minutes So, how do I assume whether the water comes out from the confined acquafier or unconfined acquafier? Please suggest me.

[@nickpilgrim1966]

Nice video. Appreciate your practical approach.

[@polyglot52]

Can we use these techniques for ground water harvesting in open field? Do you offer any consulting services? How much yearly rainfall is needed for these ground water harvesting well to be successful?

[@Hiamnaphi]

This is great content, sir. And me finding this gem of a video perhaps quite late doesnt mean my 👍 is any less of an actual "Like" towards your video. Will subscribe and looking forward to more of your videos . Keep it up 👍👍👍

[@sagarbose1679]

Sir many people promote the view that the rainwater harvesting with shallow unconfined aquifer, near high buildings (G+ 4 or higher) in urban congested areas, will eventually cause damage to the plinth of the nearby building ( by continuing contact of water with the Concrete underground throughout the year). Many also claim that such a damp environment created underground next to a building in urban congested areas, is a cause for formation and easier infestation by termites later. What is your view on this ?

[@HinrenEngineering]

1. For masonry structure, having wells close to the Foundation is of no problem. The wells go well below the load-bearing/ Bearing capacity of the soil. We have seen hundreds of examples of open wells in courtyards and in the middle of the houses. 2. For framed structures, it is not advisable to make wells very close to the foundation. Since there are point loads, it is recommended that the recharge wells be a little away from the foundations. The rule of thumb is, the wells are to be at least 1.5 (some recommend 1.0) times the depth of foundation away for framed structures. That is; say, the foundation is 6 feet deep, the well must be at least 9 feet away from the center of the footing. 3. Dampness is not an issue since the wells are covered. However, one has to be careful if the wells are sunk in clayey soils. Because the porosity of clay is very very less or almost 0, the water stagnates there and will breed mosquitoes.

@@HinrenEngineering I had the same doubt thank you clearing sir

[@kvgin9538]

Sunilji🙏 Very informative clips indeed, and thanks for the same. Could you please recommend a very practical and simple method to know the status of the reserve water in the confined aquifer of our borewell, its approximately 400 ft depth and we feel the water pumping out from the submersible 3hp pump is bit in low pressure comparing to the situations in the last year. We preferred a very cost effective method ....... Thank you GOPALAKRISHNAN

[@curiousStudent108]

Would this system work if the recharge well has sand, rock, clay layer on top to filter the run off water before it enters the well?

[@ganeshm6295]

Amazing, few q why is there a resistance to wells? Is it cause of contamination fears. Personally we have an open well charges via rainwater from roof, and we never have shortage even when it did not rain well or at all at Bengaluru last year. But got mixed w sewage when a Neighbors sewer broke, but we pumped it out once and it's fine again. Mainly using for flush garden and car wash. But water is excellent quality.

[@AshwinPrabhuB]

High cost of construction

[@rupeshrai6595]

Sir my question is if we recharge that well which is 80 feet deep then is there any possibility that it will recharge the ground water of borewell or not which is 300 feet deep

[@babubhaipatel-w5u]

Recharge well banane ka kharch kitama hota hai banane liye kisaka contake karana ?

[@srinivasrapelli2681]

How to identify where is confine and unconfined water.

[@joefanchun215]

Very well explained, easy to understand😊

[@Ikram-y3j]

What happened If drilled rechargeable well 6 meters and u found source of water and after years u want to drill deeper to ten are you going to loose first source

[@crypticabad7980]

What will be the average depth of the confined acquifer below ground lvel?

[@siligurisolarstation2310]

How to choose useful water is better

[@hcshenoy]

How to know where is the recharge area of the confined aquifer?

[@HinrenEngineering]

@@hcshenoy very difficult to determine analytically . No established science to point out exact locations.

[@aball365]

I would like to ask you whether using ground water is sustainable or good?

[@HinrenEngineering]

India is a ground water dependent country. Groundwater is sustainable as long as it is recharged. .

[@careymoulder4087]

Can you please look at the Cuyama ground water basin in California and make a video on how to help it? I Could help

[@manikantalalam3427]

Hi sir, I have an openwell in my house whose water contains calcium carbonate, (salty water), can we change the composition of this water by Rainwater water harvesting ? If so do suggest the method I should follow

[@koushikgarudadwaja3231]

Can you explain, what happens when recharge unit is setup to the existing borewell ( How aquifers recharge / react to recharge unit)

[@KrishnagiriTrekker]

Excellent sir.... Thank you.

[@ashasatapathy9589]

What is size of the wells and how the water enter the well from the ground water runoff is not clear can u pls show or explain

[@shadishvadivelu3166]

Very well explained. Much appreciated

[@vayakbhavin4009]

This was very useful thanks sir

[@awanvlogs2478]

Hi do you suggest a solution for underground saline water, will the deep borewell into confined aquifer resolve the issue. Kind regards Rashid

[@anilkumarkomarampuli]

In Which aquifer the cone of depression and its area is more?

[@ayyappanvijay4145]

Can a recharge well be converted to an injection well by drilling 30 Mtrs bore with 6' pipe? This way the run off can go depper ?

[@HinrenEngineering]

Technically yes. However the idea of the recharge well is to saturate the shallow aquifer .

[@nikhilkharate9262]

Great video

where' is your office, I am a coffee grower from coorg, interested in recharging my borewell.

[@Shrishorts17]

Close the well properly otherwise kids will fall mistakenly

All are closed with FRP chamber covers . It was opened only for the purpose of video
