Abstract

Water-wells are vertical shafts or holes used by mankind since time immemorial for obtaining groundwater for drinking purposes and other uses. The type of well to be constructed depends on the nature of the geological formation, depth to water-table, yield requirement and economic consideration. Sometimes horizontal or sub-horizontal wells or galleries are also constructed under favourable geohydrological conditions to tap subsurface water. Wells serve other purposes also, such as subsurface exploration, artificial recharge and waste disposal.
