Frequently Asked Questions
Is Esk a suitable location for drilling a water bore?
Yes, Esk and surrounding areas in the Somerset Region are well-known for accessible underground water, making them suitable for water bore drilling. The region’s mix of alluvial soils and fractured rock means that both shallow and deep bores can be effective, depending on the local geology and water usage requirements.
What are common methods used in drilling?
Common drilling methods include rotary drilling, cable tool drilling and air hammer drilling. Rotary drilling is widely used for water bores, using a rotating bit and fluid to remove cuttings. Air hammer drilling is preferred for hard rock conditions, using compressed air to power a percussion drill bit through tough surfaces.
Can drilling affect groundwater levels?
Yes, drilling can influence groundwater levels if not managed properly. Over-extraction or drilling multiple bores in close proximity to each other can reduce aquifer pressure or cause drawdown. Responsible bore placement and monitoring, guided by hydrogeological data, help maintain aquifer health and ensure long-term water sustainability.
