[QUOTE="JGreen, post: 2214637, member: 26366"] I have been researching how to dig a water well simply by using PVC and water pressure. I started this weekend. So far I have made it about 15 ft down. With this method it is possible to do approximately 35-40 ft down, according to my research. That should be enough to get you into the water table or an unconfined aquifer. I have hit some really tough clay, so today I plan on fabricating a metal drill bit onto the end of my pvc drill pipe. I am curious if anyone else has accomplished this or attempted this task. For everyday life I plan on using the well for irrigation and to fill my pool. But it will definitely be handy for a SHTF scenario. As I continue I will add more posts to help anyone else out, assuming it has a successful ending [/QUOTE]
