How to drill a water well

The water well is essential for groundwater extraction, as it is drilled into the ground to reach aquifers. The water well is used to extract pure water that can be used in drinking, irrigation and other household and industrial needs.

The role of well drilling in improving living conditions in Africa

Well drilling in Africa is an important humanitarian effort that enhances the quality of life of the local population and supports agriculture and grazing. Through voluntary contributions and government cooperation and NGOs, well-drilling campaigns are being carried out that positively affect society and enhance women’s role in it. In this article, we will discuss the importance of well drilling in improving Africa’s living conditions.

Well drilling: necessity and positive impact

Well drilling means the extraction of pure groundwater by drilling a deep well into the subsoil. This activity is essential for providing clean and potable water, improving the quality of life in remote areas and poor communities. In addition, well drilling supports agriculture and grazing and enhances food security.

Well drilling techniques: between manual and automatic

In the manual well drilling technique, the pickle and shovel are used to drill the well, and this method is adopted when the nature of the soil is soft and its water level is shallow. In the past, drilling was carried out using a shovel to drill the ground to reach the water level, and the well is then straightened by placing stones and bricks to prevent its collapse. Thereafter, the well is covered with wood, stones or concrete.

In automatic drilling, a range of machines and equipment operated by air motor are used, facilitating mud drilling and deep well drilling. These tools include a well pump, a clay piston and a floor pump to transport water to the surface.

There is also a technique known as propulsion wells, where long pipes containing holes are pushed into the aquifer. This method differs from manual drilling by not requiring cover.

These techniques depend on variables such as soil nature and physical strength available, and are used to ensure access to clean and potable water.

The role of well drilling in improving quality of life and water supply in Africa

Well drilling plays a vital role in improving Africa’s quality of life and water supply, with many regions of the continent experiencing water shortages and difficulties in accessing clean and potable water. Here are some of the main roles that well drilling plays:

Drilling wells is one of the most important ways to provide clean and potable water in remote areas, where clean groundwater is extracted from depth to meet communities’ needs.

2. Thanks to the provision of clean water, the level of public health in societies is improving, with the prevalence of waterborne and infectious diseases significantly reduced.

3. Well drilling contributes to promoting sustainable development by providing permanent water sources that support agriculture, grazing and other economic activities in the region.

4. Well drilling reduces the burden of bringing water to women and children in many African societies, allowing them to spend more time in education and work.

Well drilling plays a vital role in improving quality of life and promoting development in Africa, a key element in the efforts to preserve the health and well-being of the continent’s population.

Drilling a Well of Charity Underway in Africa: The Search for Clean Water and Better Life

Current charity is what man offers to others for the purpose of harmony with God and personal reform, and is one of Islam’s fundamental worships. It contributes to strengthening social and economic ties and improving quality of life.

Among the current types of charity, well drilling comes at the forefront of priorities, representing an important source of pure water on which entire villages on the African continent depend. Well-drilling in Africa is a great good for the poor, with access to clean water that positively affects their health and lives.

AHAD Humanitarian Association strives to provide clean water to Africa’s local population, with the aim of improving health and life. The provision of water in some remote areas of Africa is a challenge, but it is necessary to improve the region’s quality of life and sustainable development.

Building Wells as an Ongoing Friendship in Africa AHAD’s Efforts

AHAD Africa’s Well Building Association reaches out as a running friendship aimed at providing clean and potable water to local communities. The Society works to identify areas with water shortages and provide the necessary means for the construction of the well, including specialized drilling equipment and basic materials.

When building the well, AHAD is interested in ensuring the sustainability of these projects, providing periodic well maintenance and training communities on how to take care of them. The Association is also working to provide local leaders for the effective management and maintenance of the well.

Building wells as a running friend is an important part of philanthropy in Africa, contributing to improving the health and safety of local communities and providing a better life. AHAD encourages donors and fans to contribute to these charitable projects to bring lasting benefits to communities in need.
