Borehole Water Supply: Installation and Maintenance
Details
Programme Introduction
The course provides you with:
- an introduction to a variety of types of boreholes and wells, their use, design, and operation.
- a practical introduction to the main methods of drilling and borehole investigation techniques used to assess aquifer and well properties in the context of developing successful water supply boreholes.
- an introduction to methods of optimising borehole design, including selection of appropriate technology and types of pumps, well and aquifer development, and test pumping.
- an awareness of the need for long term maintenance and rehabilitation of water supply boreholes, and details of appropriate methods.
Programme Objectives
By the end of the course, you'll have an understanding of:
- the types and uses of boreholes and wells
- drilling and borehole investigation techniques
- the principles of optimal borehole design
- an awareness of the need for, and methods used in, long-term borehole maintenance
