There's nothing more frustrating for a community or family than a dry well. Water wells can dry up for many reasons, but there are also several solutions. Keep reading to learn more about why water wells dry up and what to do when this happens.

Depth

The depth of your well is a very important factor that can either prevent or cause it to dry up. If a well is not deep enough, it is very likely to dry up easily.

When water wells are severely shallow, they fail to reach the water table. When pumping, the water table level falls below the well, causing it to dry up. Consulting a geologist is ideal for determining the correct depth for your water well.

Proper Use

Communities and families often observe their wells going through a cycle of filling and drying up repeatedly. This means the water level is insufficient to supply the community, especially during peak usage times. The correct solution in these cases is to use a tank capable of holding large quantities of water.

Obstructions

A blockage in the system can cause a malfunction that leads to a well running dry. This is often seen in shallow wells that operate with suction pipes. Debris, animals, or anything that falls into the well can obstruct the flow of water.

If your water well is old, it's very likely that scale buildup is causing the blockage. That's why it's recommended to provide proper maintenance year after year.
