Scaling
3: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
Poor water quality
3: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
High water temperature
4: What can be done to the well if sand continues to enter a well after the well development has been carried out?
The well driller can try to run the pump at its maximum capacity in short periods of time over a couple of days
4: What can be done to the well if sand continues to enter a well after the well development has been carried out?
The well driller can replace the casing with a new one with smaller slots

5: What is well development?
The drilling of a hole in the ground to find groundwater
You can find the answer here >
5: What is well development?
The installation of the well casing in the centre of the borehole
You can find the answer here >
5: What is well development?
A process that ensures that the well’s sand filter has been improved so the well produces clean, sand-free water
6: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
The more the drawdown increases during pump operation, the more pressure is required to lift the groundwater to the surface
6: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
Increased drawdown leads to poor water quality
