New well design boosts year round water output on prairie farms
Manitoba's groundwater section unveils a large diameter screened well that increases sand free water intake from shallow fine sands. Hydogeologist John Little says the design could ease farm water shortages, with pilot wells in Manitoba and Saskatchewan seminars expanding to Alberta and the U.S. The system uses a full diameter screen to stabilize sand during drilling and allow higher yields at depths up to about 30 meters.
