Groundwater (bore) development details

Definition: Details of any Developments applied during and/or after bore construction

Domain: Borehole informationData table:

Development Method

Definition: A code for the method used to apply the development treatment

able: Groundwater (bore) development detailsCode table/group:

Reference Code name Description Development MethodCodeAdding dispersants + detergents A chemical method which uses dispersants and 

detergents to wet and break down the wall cake, drilling muds and clogged sediments within a bore. This allows the clayey materials and fines to be removed from the aquifer usually by pumping or bailing or other mechanical means.

ADISPDET

Air lift and jetting A bore development method which uses a combination of pressure jetting to mobilize the fines and airlifting to pump the fine particles from the well. Jetting can be done with either water or air which are forced through a nozzle under high pressure.

AIRLJET

Airlift A method used to inject high pressure air into the bore forcing a continuous flow of water from the well and thus removing fine particles. This increases the porosity and permeability of the materials surrounding the intake area thus preventing further movement of fine particles into the bore.

AIRLIFT

Bailing A tube made from pipe with a valve in the bottom (bailer) is used to remove sediments from the well.  The bailer is rapidly lowered down the well until it hits the water column. The impact of the bailer on the water surface can initially force water into the formation. The withdrawal of the bailer causes water and sediment to flow back into the well and the bailer is withdrawn. The bailing process should be repeated until sediment free water is produced.

BAILING

Pumping Pumping is the simplest and most common method of removing fine particles from the bore. In this method water is pumped from the well at a rate equal to or higher than the estimated discharge. Water is withdrawn at a very slow rate in the beginning, then the rate of withdrawal is increased in steps. In between the steps the rate of withdrawal is kept constant until no further fine particles are removed.

PUMPING

See Development Details Used for a  bore development method which is not included in the lookup table or when there is more than one method used for development. The method (or additional method) used for the development method should be described in the Development details field.

OTHER

Surging Surging involves raising and lowering a "surge block" or "surge plunger" inside the well. As a result a surging motion forces water into the formation and loosens the sediment which has been forced from the formation into the well.

Quality codes

Definition: The QUALITY database defines the data quality codes that are stored in Hydstra data files.  In particular, it holds a single character flag which is used to flag data on reports.  Note that any number of numeric quality codes may share the same print quality flags.  In general it is wise to limit the number of print quality flags, as there may not be enough space at the bottom of reports to list them if too many are used.
