underground water
A danger to well water
Water is in danger.. Why ?
We all agree that groundwater is very necessary and plays an important role in our lives.
On the other hand, a new study warned of a danger to groundwater.
as a result:
The continued withdrawal of groundwater at the same rates is faster than the rates of its renewal
As a result, about 20% of groundwater wells around the world may be at risk of drought.
What is the future of groundwater?
While the study, conducted by a research team at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was based on an evaluation of data for approximately 39 million groundwater wells around the world.
The results revealed serious weaknesses, Even in cases of modest declines in groundwater levels,
Which indicates an imminent threat to an essential source of drinking and irrigation water, Especially since billions of people depend on it.
Of course, groundwater represents the main source of water for about half of the planet’s population.
as a result :
Firstly, the increasing demand for water.
Secondly, there is no system of laws controlling this matter.
Which led to the depletion of many major aquifers in various parts of the world.
This decline in groundwater aquifers greatly affected groundwater wells.
However, it has been difficult to collect data on the availability of groundwater and the conditions of groundwater wells on a global scale.
In an attempt to develop an assessment of groundwater conditions around the world.
Scott Jaschko, assistant professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management.
And Debra Perrone, a researcher specializing in the field of water resources engineering and groundwater policies.
There are approximately 39 million groundwater wells in 40 countries around the world. Includes local data about well locations.
To summarize what the researchers said, the best depth is 6 to 20% for the wells included in the study: 6 to 20%. Answer to the question:
What is the best depth for drilling water wells?
Its depth should not exceed 5 meters from the current groundwater level in its local surroundings.
Millions of wells are at risk of drying up if the groundwater level drops by just a few metres
The remarkable thing is, Which came as a surprise to the researchers.
is that newer wells are not built any deeper than older wells and record an accelerated decline in groundwater levels.
Jaszko explained in his statements that:
Possible reasons for not drilling wells deeper than the wells previously in those areas are the significant depletion of groundwater reserves.
What the study proposes to meet the increasing demand for groundwater, and reduce over-exploitation, Avoid exposing wells to the risk of drying out.
Solutions to groundwater shortages
The scientist “Jaszko” adds:
Policies must be developed and procedures designed to achieve sustainable use of groundwater resources must be imposed.
James Familiati wrote:
Director of the Global Water Security Institute at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, Grant Ferguson, Professor of Geological and Environmental Engineering BUniversity of Saskatchewan
In the press release accompanying the study, “the researchers offer a warning And at the right time
Emphasizing that “universal access to groundwater is fundamentally at risk.”
He added that it is time to reach:
Firstly : Develop a system of good governance and science-based policies, To meet the increasing demand for groundwater
secondly : Eliminate excessive use practices.
Our groundwater service
In conclusion, Aabar Group is certainly working to provide you with important information regarding groundwater extraction because we know very well.
What is the importance of groundwater?
We provide you with assistance in:
Knowing if there is water in the ground or not?
Knowing the layers of the ground in which drilling will be done
What is the most suitable place on earth to dig a well?
What is the appropriate depth for the well?
In addition to assisting in the decision to choose the appropriate equipment for drilling.
Our services are not limited to that. We only provide consultations on the nature of the soil and its testing.
Determine the cost of the well and the appropriate depth of the well.
The appropriate type of drilling and the appropriate number.
In addition to that, he conducted pumping experiments and everything related to the problems of drilling water wells, pumps, and solar energy plants.
And most importantly of all, at the hands of a specialized elite of geologists and specialized engineers.
