I have a small stream on my land. In the dry season it stops flowing and we have to dig a dam to pump water. But then in the wet season the floods fill the dam with sediments. How can I make a more permanent system? Should I dig a well like this near the stream?

[@WeisEngineeringLtd]

You may need to create a sedimentation trap before water enters the pond.

[@gruserewebs]

Hey there, great videos. What's your diameter? Is is possible to dig down to 30 meters @ 3m diameter?

[@WeisEngineeringLtd]

The common diameter is 1.2 meters, It might be better to increase diameter from the bottom

[@arbanite9453]

There is a depth you can reach and breathing become difficult. What do you do in such a situation?

[@WeisEngineeringLtd]

We put lime

[@natashaalicek6634]

Great job .what happens when you dig 30metres deep and you find arock? Please reply me because am facing this problem

[@WeisEngineeringLtd]

If a hard is encountered, one of the options would be using a compressor though advisable if there signs of water because it involves a lot of resources otherwise if there is a possibility of digging a new point and the chances of getting the same rock is less, then a new point can be tried otherwise a machine drilled deep well (weisengineering.com/cost-of-drilling-a-borehole-in-uganda/) may be the last option.

[@namuddunorah3570]

The well is good, but I come up with a better manual pump... Such that some one doesn't continue with endless expenses

[@WeisEngineeringLtd]

Manual water pumps are available, including drawing water using a pulley system, a hand pump, to mention. Solar water pumping is also available where no need of daily operation costs. Thank you for your comment
