@@vaishnavivodnala3223 im not sure I thought maybe it was where water was stored. I live in California and it is rare for you to use well water here so its not something I was exposed to much. What a difference in Texas, where many people use well water only on their properties
I'm 60 years old. I've lived in 5 homes. All but the 1st one have had wells. Even when 'city water' was finally put in at the previous home in '89, we paid for the hook in but didn't hook in. The well there is still working.

I live in the Philippines and am having a dug well installed right as I write this. Two questions: My water was found at 35 feet down. What determines how high the well will fill? What stops the well filling all the way up to the top or even overflowing?? Second question: The well was dug at the end of our dry season. Does the rainy season offer more flow to the aquifer? Can I expect an increased flow rate or higher reserve? Great video THANKS!!!
According to studies rainy season does affect your well, higher reserves and an increased flow rate, As for finding water at 35 feet the determining on how high the well will fill depends on how high your water table is to the surface. Wells don't overflow as the water table always has room, it will be higher or lower. seeing as your water table is 35 feet below surface level. these deep wells don't overflow
@@limitedquantitysufiyyahexp4905 Okay, then don't use it and go up to a river everyday and bring buckets of water back cause that's sooooo much more efficient.
@@HS-ts5wf Yeah, It's more efficient, I'll be pretty fit unlike a certain people who use technology for everything. Just my opinion, no need to be a twitter rat.
My understanding is if say a extremely big drought happens in the USA, there will be no ground water to seep down to the bottom, which will cause all the wells to dry up, right? But if we see this happening and quickly decide to fill up large containers we might end up with a sink hole. One day when my well pipe was leaking for weeks, my neighbors complained that her water pressure was low, this must means my well is dug deeper than hers or maybe the ground water was running low because of my leak, right? I look up how wells work because I had a dream all wells ran dry. Almost all my dream are of future events. With global warming this is highly possible and I hope to prepare as best as I can.
My grandparents had a private well. I know that well water and public city water taste way different from each other. I also know that copper pipes can give water a metallic taste, lead pipes are poison, and steel pipes are perfect.
You're not wrong. If lost in a desert, there could be lower-points you could find with signs of moisture, or small green sprigs is the best chance. Digging there is what I would do 😇
I just moved into a rural home that has both a well and cistern, and both need refilling every few weeks with water truck delivery. Does this mean I have a shallow well? Still not sure how system works.
If your screen or filter doesnt touch the ground underwater it wont really get stuck (not quickly but you still have to service it), ours is floating just above the ground so no soil or stone are really sucked in
They failed to mention a condition about water tables in areas with lakes. If there is a man made lake in your area, the lake itself will change the level of the water table. An example, my GG Grandparents home has a hand dug stone lined well that fed water to their house for litterally centuries, about 3 miles down the road, the state came in and damned a local river creating a large lake and the month the lake began filling, the hand dug well went dry. We still have a separate water source of a naturally occurring spring that actually feeds the lake many miles down stream and my Grandfather converted it to feed water water to the house and barns and it has not once gone dry since 1913 with the exception of when the cistern the spring runs in to sits up with sand. We have to go down about every 10 years and run the pump wide open and use another pump to drain the cistern so we can get in and shovel out all the sand that has come up through the spring fissure. The way this problem was discovered was by me when after over 50 years running fine, the pump started sucking air. We uncovered the cistern and is was slap full of sand, I had to get down into the cistern and dig it all out by hand which trust me, sucks.
Rewatching the walking dead and Marshall farm house still had running water due to multiple wells on the property. But 5:15 shows u still need electric wiring to pump the water up. As I’m watching I notice he has lamps on in the house as well so maybe he has multiple generators. I guess my question is it possible to have running water from your well without electricity?
I was a contractor for such projects before I moved out. Let me tell that this job is scary, I had guys that would dig such wells by hand, and the depth would reach up to 60 meters I even had a project that reached 150 meters and it was scary
@@xionmemoria I'm not talking about modern concrete, that stuff was invented after the middle ages. I'm just wondering what type was commonly used. And if it was a type of early concrete.
Fun fact: it’s actually pretty limited. Arid regions like California have sucked so much water from the ground that the land they sit in has sunk 10s to 100s of feet over the last 100 years.
be honest, this wasnt recommended to you, you looked it up
ok
True
nigga im high asff
It's 3 am and yeah i'm curious
Didn’t have to call me out like that
This dude went so into detail I got lost and now I have to watch another video to learn how a well works! 😭
I get that and I don’t even smoke no more 🌳🌳🌳 🌳 still had to rewind like 17.6 times

Dig a hole .... get water..... now you know

Fantastic video. Concise and "well" done.
I hate and love u
I love you for that joke hahah Have a great day!
I'm 23 and never knew that there's water under the ground. Glorious!

@@hi-z oh right yeah makes sense haha depends on the surroundings and where you were brought up I guess....
In fairness, even though I knew there was water underground, I wasn't exactly sure how that water got *into* the wells.
Early morning question from my kiddo: Dad, how are wells made? Answer: Let’s watch this video. Perfect explanation for both kid and parent!
I knew a few things about wells but didn't quite know about most stuff or how to connect the dots on how it works. The video def helped thanks!

‘Well’ done
I was hoping to learn what the area is defined as, that your water is sucked up from, if it is not in a designated aquifer?
Nice Video!😄👍🏻 Keep it up
Great video!
Thank you!
awesome vid thx!!!
Wait, so if I'm ever lost in a hot desert and don't know which way to go, I should just start digging until I hit the ground water? 😜
Well, sure, but it could be thousands of feet down 😅
You're not wrong. If lost in a desert, there could be lower-points you could find with signs of moisture, or small green sprigs is the best chance. Digging there is what I would do 😇
You might find oil instead water 😂😂😂
Which program has been Used
to create this video?
Premiere Pro by Adobe 🙂
And here was me thinking that wells simply existed as a prop to be used in horror movies.
I just moved into a rural home that has both a well and cistern, and both need refilling every few weeks with water truck delivery. Does this mean I have a shallow well? Still not sure how system works.
So does digging for oil work the same way then?
Here because i saw Mrbeast just casually drilling for a well in Africa and i wondered how you can just randomly drill for water in a dry place
Just moved into a new construction home. Ran my well for 2 days and I'm still getting sand out of my faucets. Why is that?
I have a feeling most people searched for this video at one point rather than having it recommended to them haha
Lol yeah, search is about 85K of these views.
That’s cool!
Woww so nice
how does the screen at the bottom not clog over time?

You could have a hand pump, and a water tank on the roof, but you would have to frequently pump from the well to the tank on the roof.

[I'm here after I got an audio output about the Kenny veach video.]
Why’d I get the random urge to dig a well😂
Somewhat here because of taft california limitations in palmdale california after a major error possibly few know about.
This makes me wonder how massive sinkholes are formed. Could this be related? Gonna look that up next.
Down the well baby Jessica fell.
So if you put old water that’s been contaminated back into an old well …how does that work? Anyone know? Is it filtered and cleaned someway?
Wells can get contaminated, it happens quite frequently with oil drilling and chemical production.
You don't introduce contaminated water back into a well. That can seep down into the aquafer and contaminate the whole thing.
The random stock videos are weird. Otherwise fairly good video.
the kids with legos really threw me off @ 6:30
I don't feel paranoid at all seeing a video about water wells, something I rely on to live, coming from a channel with "concerning" in the name
Why is ground water not salty? Interesting how "Dirt" filters our water.
According to somebody else commenting here -- it sometimes is!
When they said struck water in the mrbeast youtube video I was like wait a minute, how?
Wells can last a long time. Mine is almost 50 years old.
wow i haven't heard the ksp building music in so fucking long and instantly recognized it lmao
