The
artesian Well is created when digging a hole in the light ground or in
the watertight rock to access the under pressure underground water level
named the artesian water sheet. The water level is generally down 100
feet in the ground. All Wells are not Artesian Wells, but all water Wells
are commonly identified this way.
The Artesian Well is usually stable and reliable
all over the year as far as the water level is concerned. Underground
water is a much larger supply than surface water and then offers a safer
reserve. |
Also,
the Artesian Well is a better choice because less exposed to bacterial
contamination than a surface Well or than a water source at capture point.
When the drilling operation and the installation of the pump is done
by a specialised and competent firm, risks for surface water infiltration
in the well is negligible and assure you to get drinkable water all year
long.

Geothermic
phenomenon consists in capturing and saving solar energy in the ground
and in the underground water. Contrarily to ones belief, the earth ground
surface is not warmed up by the earth inner fire but by the solar energy.
Generally, the ground surface temperature and the underground water is
constant at 48 degree F (8,9C) all year long. Heat under the surface as
well as the water underneath offers a free and renewable energy supply
that will last as long as the sun will shine in the sky. |

It
becomes easy under these temperature conditions to collect heat in the
water using a thermo pump thus returning back the cooler water to the
ground.
A geothermic system can allow for a 66%
saving on heating and air conditioning your property. It consists in getting
the underground water through a Well collecting heat and using a thermo-pump.
It may also be possible to proceed arranging a water pipes network, called
buckle, grounded outside the property’s sittings and creating a
circulation of an heat collecting liquid like water or antifreeze. This
liquid called “coolant” retains heat collected from underground
water and from the ground itself.
Finally, a good underground water system,
will never spill or waste water since it returns it to the ground though
a return well. |

The
underground water under pressure forces its way though cracks in the rock
and those cracks eventually channel the water towards the well. Deeper
the well is, more substantial the water reserve will be for the water
supply operation. If after drilling over 300 feet there is still no water,
well-sinkers will proceed with a shock operation called “Hydro-forcing”.
Using a system developed for this purpose,
well sinkers will install a rubber plug down the well at 100 feet. Using
a very powerful water pump, they will inject water in the tight section
of the well at 3000 pounds pressure reaching a flow of 30 to 45 gallons
per minute during a full hour. This huge pressure will clean the cracks
in the rock and will thus allow the water flow back freely to the well. |
|
|
Once
the well is operational, rest to install a sinkable water pump for which
the power capacity will be related to the well depth. It will the be linked
to the water system of the farm or of other kind of building. |
