Water bore drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground to access underground water sources.
The process typically involves using a drilling rig to bore a hole in the ground to a desired depth, which can range from a few meters to several hundred meters deep, depending on the location and the depth of the water table.
Once the hole has been drilled, a casing is installed to prevent the sides of the borehole from collapsing and to protect the water supply from surface contamination.
A pump is then installed to extract the bore water from the borehole and bring it to the surface.
Water bore drilling can be used for a variety of purposes, including residential and commercial water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications.
A water bore is a common method of accessing water in areas where surface water sources are limited or unreliable. However, the quality and quantity of water available can vary depending on the location and geological conditions of the area.
