Blasting & Digging A New Well

No school like old skool when it comes to digging a well through rock.

Blasting the rock was the only efficient way to continue sinking the well. Modern drills and breakers were struggling.
We picked up on the Corallian sands aquifer within the Thames basin.

We had to make a rather large sump and sand filter but the sand will settle after a day of pumping and is certainly supplying a good supply of water.
