If you decide to make a water supply system at your dacha, then you will ask first of all the question: from which source to take water – dig a well or it is better to drill a well?
And both have their advantages and their disadvantages.
If you need clean water, without any external impurities, then you need to dig a well. At the forty -meter depth, the water is clean, superficial water does not fall there, and if they get, then they manage to filter well well. But there is too much iron in this water and you still have to filter this water for drinking.
The well is drilling where the level of groundwater is close to the surface, since in such a place the well will not become a source of drinking water, but a sump for watering, because water from the surface easily fall into it through the seams of the rings. It’s more difficult to get to these waters in the well.
It is not worth hoping that the drilling of the well will cost cheaper than digging a well, because in order to get water from the well, you need to install a cesson, and this is quite expensive.
The plus of the well is that the water from it is cleaner and more useful than from an ordinary well, despite the presence of iron, and minus – the well cannot be cleaned or deepened, unlike the well. And one more minus – it is impossible to get water from the well without electricity, while it is easy to make a bucket from the well.
