WELLS
INFILTRATION WELLS
- Lower cost than making a fully lined - Not much water is available for
well due to less lining needed extraction (as compared with a
- traditional well)
- Speedier construction compared to
-
fully lined well
- Cannot easily access intake for
-
maintenance or in case of problems
- Good for low-yielding aquifers
-
-
- Since it's a lower tech option, villagers - No possibility to line as you dig,
can participate easier, therefore less therefore more safety concerns if soil
supervision required is not stable
