What are drilled wells?

Drilled wells, also known as boreholes, are structures created by the process of drilling the earth's surface to extract underground water or natural resources. These wells are typically constructed using rotary drilling techniques that involve a rotating drill bit attached to a drill string. Drilling fluids are used to lubricate the drilling process and remove cuttings from the borehole. Once the desired depth is reached, the well is typically completed with casing, screens, and a pump system to ensure water flow and prevent contamination. Drilled wells are commonly used for domestic water supply, irrigation, industrial purposes, and even oil and gas extraction. They offer a reliable and controlled water source but require professional expertise and equipment to be installed correctly.
