Abyssinian Well

The Abyssinian well is a tube well that penetrates deep into the soil to the surface aquifer.

Such wells got their name due to their widespread use in Ethiopia (the historical region of Abyssinia). Their peculiarity lies in their design - it is a vertical pipe that descends into the ground below the groundwater level.

The design of the Abyssinian well makes it possible to reach aquifers located at a shallow depth from the surface of the earth. Usually this is a depth of 10-15 meters. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to use simple manual methods of drilling a well without the use of drilling equipment.

The pipe, lowered into the ground, is filled with water from the aquifer. To collect water, a well frame is equipped in the upper part of the well and a lifting device (crane) is installed.

This design of wells has become widespread in rural areas of Africa and Asia due to the simplicity and low cost of construction. Abyssinian wells make it possible to provide the rural population with drinking water in the absence of a centralized water supply.

An Abyssinian-type well is a type of underground water intake structure that is used to provide drinking water to populated areas and individual areas. Such wells have a tubular body that penetrates the soil and reaches the bottom of the surface water carrier. This allows you to quickly and efficiently obtain the required amount of water for various purposes and use a quality product.

Abyssinian wells get their name from the Arabic name for this type of water intake structure, and are often used in Muslim countries. In addition, they can be used as an alternative to polyethylene pipe structures in agriculture and horticulture for irrigation.

The process of installing an abyssal well is quite simple and does not require sophisticated equipment. Water is drawn through a tube with a water intake at the bottom of the well. To install such a well, you need to dig a hole to the depth of the required pipe and install it there. After this, the installation site is strengthened with cement mortar or concrete.

The uniqueness of abyssination wells lies in the fact that they make it possible to obtain high-quality water, which not only meets all norms and standards, but is also suitable and beneficial for humans. Water of this type has a chemical composition that allows it to be used not only for drinking and cooking, but also for technical purposes, for example, for irrigation and other household needs. An important advantage of abyssinian water over surface water is its purity, since it is not subjected to filtration and purification, which is very important when using it in closed water supply systems.

Installing an abyssal well allows you to save energy and money associated with the purchase and maintenance of sprinkler irrigation systems and soil pumps. This type of well provides a convenient and independent source of water suitable for use anywhere in and around the home and can meet the needs of households and small businesses. At the same time, it should be noted that such a source must be located in an unclogged area, that is, in a place where water is good and accessible.

It should be noted that the use of abyssal wells is not a sure-fire option in case of long-term operation, especially if the surface aquifer contains dirt or is contaminated. However, with proper installation, maintenance and protection of the well, it can last for a long time without the need for repair or replacement. However, despite all these advantages, not all wells can be considered a reliable and stable source of water. Therefore, it is important to entrust their installation to qualified specialists who have relevant experience and knowledge in the field of water extraction. Such specialists are able to quickly, efficiently and reliably install an abyssian well, ensuring reliable and safe operation of the water source.
