RE: Proteas make great cut flowers.

We are of the opinion that the more water from the well is taken away, the more water it will have. We have problems when the well sinks. I think that this is due to the geological and climatic features of a particular locality.

Sort:  

Here in Australia, we have the Great Artesian Basin. It is highly regulated and to use this water you must have a license. But this is not inexhaustible. In all wells, the water taken out must be eventually replaced with new water in order to continue the supply. Usually the water supply for wells is topped up by rainfall from nearby areas that collect rain ( recharge areas with sandy or more porous soils )which then seeps underground to the aquifer. Some aquifers are supplied with water from a long way away. But if there is no rain, aquifers cannot recharge, and then wells will eventually have less and less water until they run dry. If your well never runs out of water in drought and even when a lot of others are using the water in the same aquifer, then you are very lucky indeed ! In our Great Artesian Basin, if too much water was taken out of it, the ground would probably sink, as there is huge pressure which forces the water up to the surface when a bore is drilled into it. This is maybe the reason that sometimes wells sink in your country too. The return of "normal" rainfall patterns would ease the reliance on wells and bores to extract groundwater, but the "powers that be have a way of starving us of water in some areas and flooding with too much in other areas.. .. Geoengineering and HAARP.... Weaponizing the weather against us.

The pressure is great, that's for sure. We have a seismic zone. At a depth of about 100-12 meters in water there is a lot of hydrogen sulfide. This is a sign of geothermal processes. I was able to set fire to this water in one source.

This water can be drunk, even without defending. This water is lifted by deep-water pumps from deep wells. But, wells of private owners, usually, with a depth of 30-40 meters, no more than 5-10 meters. These layers of water are above the limestone slab. This is the rainwater and the water of the river basins. There are just huge lenses.

Wells, in the lowlands, are rarely used for drinking purposes, this water is used mainly for irrigation. The centralized water supply is fed by the Dniester and Prut rivers. These are powerful sources. But, sometimes there are problems with regard to the Dniester. Above moldova, against the current, the Dniester flows through the territory of Ukraine, if the floodgates overlap there, an alarm appears. Sometimes it happens)) Even worse, when these gateways open)) After they closed them. streams of water flood the settlements that are near the river. And it's bad, and then it's bad)) It's hard to please us))

Looks like we don't have to worry about your water supply then. Thanks for the feedback !

Thank you so much!
