Regular Surface Dug Well: The basic materials for a hand dug well is a prefabricated concrete circular drainage ring drainage ringlike the one shown at the left. The drainage assembly comes in 3 basic diameters, 1 meter, 1.2 meter and 1.5 meters. Each piece has a depth of about 30 cm., so there are about 3 per meter. The smaller diameter is normally sufficient for a single house. (19-Apr-04) dozerSep 28, 2011

Communal Wells: This is an example of a communal well. Everyone in the immediate area is serviced by this well and water tower. As of the time of this picture, there was basically no water service 23 hours a day each and every day. Most everyone was trying to sell their house or townhouse in the area, makes you wonder if it is possible to sell a house with no water? (19-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Sometimes once water is hit some circular drainage fittings will be inserted prior to pumping out water, as in this picture. Although it doesn't look like it in this picture, the well digger is about 7 meters below ground level here! (09-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
