Rotary Well Drilling (3:55 min video)

Shallow Well Drilling
LWI's four-day shallow well drilling seminar is a broad, hands-on training that prepares volunteers to drill shallow wells in developing countries.

Over the four days, trainees will be divided into teams and they will go through the process of drilling a six-inch diameter borehole to a depth of up to 100 feet using equipment that can be used in medium to soft formations.

The teams will then case and develop the well, and will install a hand pump. At the end of the day, there is a relaxed evening session to review the events of the day.
