Boreholes are shafts that are drilled into the ground horizontally or vertically. Even though these shafts are narrow, they are intense. An installed water borehole taps into aquifers or underground stores of water that is created through rain and evaporation in the permeable geological matter.
Boreholes are drilled and lined with a proper casing and screen. Just around the screen, an annulus is placed and then packed with rounded inert silica sand or gravel that acts as a filter. To prevent polluted surface water from entering the borehole, a seal near the borehole’s top closes the drill holes in the pipe.
