The hand dug well is a pretty amazing feat. A hole is dug to a slightly larger diameter than the circular drainage fitting to be used. The hole will be no more than about couple of centimeters wider than the rings. (24-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here is another idea for a water tower This one is built on a bathroom, but you could also do a storage room underneath. The tower sets on top at a height of about 5 meters. The tank has about a 2000 liter capacity. (11-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This is a large tower which services several small apartments and is more than what would be needed for a residential house, but it gives you an idea. The base of this one is 2.70 meters square. The height is about 5 meters and water capacity of about 2000 liters. (27-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here is a similar version about 2 years old. They tend to age rather quickly due to water seepage and generally look kind of ugly. (21-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

I like stainless steel tanks which come in various sizes and shapes. For a single family house I would recommend storage size of 1000 or more liters. The cheaper plastic type (which you can see in the lower right of this picture) are not recommended. They supposedly are harder to clean and have problems with algae growth. I recently priced an 1600 liter stainless steel tank for 8500 Baht including delivery. (21-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

An automatic pump of the type used for hand dug wells, this is a Fujika GF-225 automatic home pump. Good quality pumps run 5000 Baht or more. (19-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

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

Well Options: This is a pair of homemade water tanks. These are made from circular drainage fittings and cement. (17-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

A finished off deep water well. (15-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

Once the wells starts getting deep the digger will descent using a rope. (09-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
