To provide a source of water for a range of applications.

This can include:

  • Drinking Water
  • Water for commercial uses (bottling plants, breweries etc)
  • Agriculture
  • Basically anything where water is used in large quantities.

The main reason for using a borehole rather than a normal water supplies are - location (not always easy to get water pumped in to rural places) and the potential cost savings. Borehole water is much cheaper than the water you get through your taps.

When was the kola superdeep borehole dug?

The Kola Superdeep Borehole was begun in 1970 and finished in 1992. It reached 12,262 meters deep. Work ceased due to the difficulties of drilling in extreme temperatures (~300 degrees Celsius) and lack of funding.


What is the function of a tube well?

A tube well is used to access groundwater for various purposes like irrigation, drinking water supply, and industrial use. It consists of a borehole with a tube installed to prevent the walls from collapsing and serve as a pathway for water to be extracted from the underground aquifers.


You live in Dubai your garden is watered by a borehole the water is very salty plants die what can you do to help your plants?

There are a few things, either mix the borehole water with fresh water to dilute the amount of salt in the water before watering with it. or Alternate watering with borehole water and fresh water alternate days to help leach some of the salts from the soil. or Water regularly to ensure that the soil does not start to dry; once the surface water starts to evaporate it draws diluted salts up to the surface (and closer to the root zone) where it eventually forms a white crust of salt on the soil as the water evaporates.


How deep into the earth has man traveled?

The deepest humans have traveled into the Earth is about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) through deep mines. This achievement was in the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia.


What is the difference between 'cased hole log' and 'open hole log'?

An open hole log , is just what it says, a log, (electric, caliper, nuclear) run in an open borehole with no lining material. A cased log is run in a borehole with steel casing. The steel casing limits the amount of information you can get from the logs.

Can you explain what a borehole log is?

A borehole geophysical log is the science of recording and analysing measurements of physical properties made in wells or test holes. Borehole Geophysical logs provide a borehole record of the lithology, fractures, permeability, porosity and water quality.


What are the method of Borehole survey?

Not 100% sure on the question whether it means surveying an existing borehole or assessing the viability of drilling a new one. If it's surveying an existing borehole for problems etc that is usually done via CCTV where a camera is lowered into the well. If it's assessing the viability of drilling a new borehole then that's called borehole prognosis and that is carried by a hydrogeologist who geology, hydrogeology, water quality, potential yield and borehole depth requirements.


Why was the Kola Superdeep Borehole closed?

The Kola Superdeep Borehole was closed due to a lack of funding and the challenges of drilling to extreme depths.


What is the difference between a deep borehole and a shallow borehole?

A deep borehole is drilled much deeper into the ground compared to a shallow borehole. Deep boreholes are typically used for extracting resources such as water, oil, or gas from deep underground reservoirs, while shallow boreholes are often used for environmental monitoring, water wells, or geotechnical purposes at shallower depths.

What is borehole?

Drilled Hole: a deep hole drilled into the ground to obtain samples for geological study or to release or extract water or oil Usually narrow in width. Probably the most common type is a water borehole, which is where the borehole is used as a water well.


Why is borehole water salty?

Borehole water can become salty due to natural processes such as the presence of underground salt deposits or infiltration of saline water into the aquifer from nearby sources like the ocean. Additionally, human activities such as improper disposal of chemicals or seepage from septic tanks can also contribute to salt contamination in borehole water.
