This video shows how to drill your own well using PVC. From http://www.drillyourownwell.com It is a good way to put down a shallow well and get inexpensive water for irrigation and lawn watering. It is not a substitute for potable water.

  • interesting! I'll look at it.

  • @dawmlw

    Will this device work in Missouri where the soil is more rocky? Also how would one find how deep water is for their area? I don't need drinking water just water for my garden and yard will suffice.

  • @Twisted86 It is unlikely it will work but it is very cheap to try! Ask neighbors with wells to find out how deep you have to go to get water. Good luck!

  • It is possible to drill too much and get "below the water table"? Or deeper we get more water will find ?

  • @ZoiMutante It is possible but certainly not with this technique! Water tends to be in layers. Commercial drillers can drill past a layer of water. With this technique you are just trying to get to some sand that is below the water table.

  • did u know about dowsing ? is yes, do you think it can work ?

  • @ZoiMutante Sorry, I don't know anything about dowsing.

  • an easier way use 'slurpy bore pump' no moving parts, works off water pressure using a venturi (patent australia) one jet shoots forward the other up a sleeve, u need reasonable pressure, I've done a hole 17.7m deep in 2hrs using town mains with the standard 2bs model-it picks up 10mm stones. there are larger models that pick up 20mm stones. the 2bs will need the stainless steel sleeve due to the friction of the sand, no drilling mud needed. follow the instructions Find them on google.

  • Oh wow, the ground around here is clay and rock (farmers in the area go through a ridiculous amount of plow blades around here). The bedrock also comes up withing a few feet of the top soil. This wont work for me :(

  • Hey you might strike it rich
