[QUOTE="Driller, post: 2219205, member: 25897"] That's pretty cool; there are lots of ways to make a water well. You can research the existing wells in your area here: [url]http://maps.owrb.state.ok.us/ms/ws/pub_custom/viewer.htm?Box=-223596.01:1359775.61:-133847.73:1413468.94&Layers=1100000000011111100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011001110000000010000000001001&ActiveLayer=1[/url] Zoom in on your part of the county, left click on the "hyperlink" tab, and then left click on the green dots on the map and you can pull up the well log for the well you selected. I use this mapping program nearly everyday in my business. Unless you are in an alluvial area (creek bed or river valley), you will likely have to penetrate some rock to get to the uppermost saturated zone. If you do hit any water, it would be a good idea to fill the annular space between your production casing and the wall of the borehole with coarse sand to prevent future borehole collapse. The upper 10' of the borehole should also be sealed with a cement grout or bentonite material to prevent surface water from contaminating the groundwater (or your neighbors well). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
