Dig a well for home

A dig well is a type of water well that is manually or mechanically excavated to access groundwater. Typically dug using shovels, pickaxes, or specialized machinery, these wells are often wider in diameter compared to drilled wells, usually ranging from 1 to 3 meters (3 to 10 feet). The depth of a dig well varies depending on the water table, often reaching up to 20 meters (65 feet) or more.

Dig wells are commonly lined with bricks, stones, concrete rings, or other materials to prevent collapse and contamination. They are most suitable in areas where groundwater is shallow and easily accessible. While traditional dig wells were hand-dug, modern methods may involve power tools or excavation equipment for improved safety and efficiency.

These wells are widely used in rural and agricultural regions, providing a reliable source of water for drinking, irrigation, and household use. Regular maintenance and proper sanitation are essential to ensure water quality and longevity.
