Press Release

Maintaining a well in good condition is essential for reliable water access and optimal well performance. As wells age, they can begin to experience a decline in performance due to several possible causes. To troubleshoot or diagnose well problems, it is important to identify the causes and relevant solutions.

In this article, we'll provide an overview of the most common causes of well performance problems, as well as solutions that can help you restore your well's capacity. Let's get started!

Causes of Loss of Performance in Water Wells

To understand the problem, it is first important to know the factors that can influence the decrease in the performance of a well:

• Poor Well Construction: Poor well design or drilling can negatively impact well performance. If a well is drilled into incorrect geological layers or below recommended parameters, it will lose water flow.
• Insufficient or Excessive Pumping : Over-pumping a well can cause the formation of diffuser pipes and reduce well flow. On the other hand, insufficient pumping will also reduce well performance by not properly penetrating the aquifer.
• Bacteria and Chemicals : A well can experience a sudden drop in performance if bacteria and impurities are found in the water. These contaminants not only reduce flow but also impair water quality.
• Corrosion : Water well drilling is susceptible to corrosion due to various factors such as saltwater, low pH, etc. These conditions can lead to a decrease in well capacity by corroding the drilled materials.

How to Maximize Your Potential

There are ways to rehabilitate and improve the performance of a drilled well. Here are some solutions to maximize well performance:

Well Inspection and Rehabilitation

First, it's important to conduct regular inspections and diagnostics to identify well problems. Once the diagnosis is complete, rehabilitation solutions can be implemented, such as drilling further through aquifers, expanding the well's perimeter, and drilling new diffuser pipes.

Regular Maintenance

It is also important to perform regular maintenance to minimize damage caused by corrosion and contaminants. This may include periodic testing for bacteria, chemicals, and pH, as well as regular well cleaning to remove any harmful materials.
