Measuring Static Water Level and Assessing Yield

it's gonna be a pricey one [Music] all right [Music] guys this is Patrick Patrick is with Carolina Virginia Pump and Well or well and pump what is it whale and pump all right and we drilled how deep today 465 feet 5 gallons a minute five gallons a minute 400 is that enough water for the average home now I know this is going to be an agricultural well so we'll be doing a little bit of irrigating with it we'll be doing a little bit of cattle watering with it we'll be washing stuff off pressure washing equipment and stuff like that so you tell me is it enough water it is I'm gonna make it work all right now you got a meter in here what's that meter tell me what you got here this is the static water level okay they say when the wire level come up to so we can get everything sized up like we need to okay and this is from Eno scientific all right guys so we're gonna see how good the well performed later on we're gonna see where the static water level is right now and the reason we need to know where the static water level is Patrick can explain a little bit but we've got a bison pump going in the Bison pump is a stainless steel hand pump so we never have to rely on electricity to run our well we can always have a water source for our animals now what does the static water mean is that sound from all the water comes from the top of the ground down to the top of the water okay so from ground level down to the top of the water this is where it's going to sit right that's where you want it was going to be in the wheel will that fluctuate from from summertime to winter time or is that pretty steady you should stay steady okay gotcha unless you're using the water then it's going to go up and down and we've done this on other well so we have two Wells on the farm and the static water level and the other well was 26 feet and the other one down here was around 26 feet too so I I would anticipate it'd be pretty close to the same it should be pretty close let's go see what it does yeah so Patrick tell us what you're doing you got a there's a plate on this well right here what's that plate say tell me it identifies everything on the well okay gallons per minute The Damp depth per minute the case and depth okay gotcha and this is something that we will hang on to with our uh for dear life right let's see it to be stamped to the actual to the way okay gotcha so 428 23 and 465 feet and static water level is what we're getting ready to find so all right guys will probably hear…
