In partnership Farm Water Quality PlanningA Water Quality and Technical Assistance Program for California REFERENCE SHEET is part ofthe Farm Water QualityPlanning (FWQP) series,developed for a short coursethat provides training for grow-ers of irrigated crops who areinterested in implementingwater quality protection prac-tices. The short course teachesthe basic concepts of Water -sheds, nonpoint source pollution(NPS), self-assessment tech-niques, and evaluation tech-niques. Management goals andpractices are presented for avariety of cropping : Water well Design andConstruction THOMAS HARTER is UC Cooperative Extension Hydrogeology Specialist at the University ofCalifornia, Davis, and Kearney Agricultural well BASICSA Water well is a hole, shaft, or excavation used for the purpose of extractingground Water from the subsurface. Water may flow to the surface naturally after exca-vation of the hole or shaft. Such a well is known as a flowing artesian well . More com-monly, Water must be pumped out of the wells are vertical shafts, but they may also be horizontal or at an inclinedangle.
The purpose of the screen is to keep sand and gravel from the gravel pack (described below) out of the well while providing ample water flow to enter the casing.
