Hi
Iam from a village at Thiruvanamalai dist Tamilnadu I've planned to made a bore well for my agriculture land anybody pleas e surges me which is the best way to find the water inside the land and rock ?
Ground water is usually detected using the dousing method. The materials used for dousing vary from person to person. The water diviner may use Y shaped stick or a brass rod Y shaped. However this method success rate depends upon the diviner. The depth of the well will mainly be determined by the type of rock formation in your area. Go by the general rule as to the depth of borewells in your area.
There are also govt water diviners who use meters and wires to map your field and detect water levels in your field. These water diviners are usually expensive and play hard to get.
The with of the borewell is usually 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" . If you plan to dig more than 500 feet then it is advisable to go in for 6 1/2" Borewell.
All the best in your venture to find good water source.
