The manual was designed recognizing that well construction techniques will vary with six major criteria; namely, the intended use of the Water, the required capacity of the well, the nature of the producing zone, the intended drilling method, and the manner in which the well con- struction will be paid for.

If your Water level is 25 feet or less below the surface, then you can use a manual well pump to draw Water out of it. You’ve probably seen these; the squeaky cast iron pump that was used in the Old West (and other places). You can still get them today for a fairly reasonable price. The electric pump your well has in it won’t prevent you from using a manual pump of this type. If your well is a deep well, it will probably have a four inch well …

The Water Well Driller's Beginning Training Manual is designed for use by Water well contractors in the training of new men. It reduces to the barest essentials the knowledge a man must have in order to begin to learn how to be a Water well driller. The article which starts on the opposite page is the first of fifteen chapters.
If your well is a deep well, it will probably have a four inch well casing. Besides the Water, the only thing that is taking up space in that well casing is the power cord and the hose that is carrying the Water to the surface. There’s enough room for the suction hose for the manual pump.
Water well completion report or log (if you have it) which should include information such as Water well depth, date drilled, construction (including casing specifications, grouting and screen), and Water well yield or flow rate in gallons per minute (gpm) Invoices from work done by Water well contractors (including pump replacement)
Water Well Maintenance. Water wells require regular maintenance to ensure adequate Water flow and continued drinking Water safety. To ensure Water quality, well Water should be tested annually for total coliform bacteria and E. coli bacteria by a state accredited testing laboratory.
Harness the power of the sun when the power goes out… It’s easy to check how close to the surface the Water in your well is; all you need is an empty pill bottle and some string. Put a few pebbles or metal nuts in the pill bottle to give it some weight and tie the end of the string securely to it.
Solar pump – Another option is a solar-powered Water pump, which can provide as much as 1,200 gallons for Water daily, depending on the brand and model – and, of course, the weather. Get Free Electricity — And Never Be Without Power! Solar pumps are fairly easy to install, and they can last for up to 20 years or so.
Because well pump systems incorporate a storage tank (sometimes called a pressure tank), you may have a access to 20-30 gallons even without electricity. But, it’s astonishing how fast it runs out. And, how much you miss access to fresh Water after it’s gone!
Instead, dig below the ground. There could be a great source of Water running right under your feet. And another perk to a well, if you consider yourself a homesteading prepper, is that even if city Water is contaminated your Water source most likely will not be. Plus, even if the entire grid shuts down you still have a viable Water source.
