Development of an Optimal Well Operation Mode

Subartesian wells are used to supply agriculture with irrigation water, cities and towns with drinking water, and industrial enterprises with process water. Currently, there are 14,000 subartesian and more than 30,000 mine wells in our country for extracting water from various underground reservoirs and delivering it to consumers. In accordance with the adopted state programs, it is planned to drill and commission another 300 subartesian wells for irrigation and water supply. The purpose of this research is consists in preparing the optimal operating mode of existing and planned subartesian wells, increasing their efficiency by reducing operating costs and preventing depletion of groundwater resources. To achieve this goal, we studied the operated subartesian wells, their current operating mode and operating principles, as well as identifying shortcomings. The scientific innovation of the research consists in generalizing the types, types, designs, principles of well operation and calculation methods used in their design, as well as improved hydraulic reporting on complete and incomplete wells. The results of the study showed that the lack of optimal operation of subartesian wells leads to depletion of groundwater reserves, disruption of the ecological balance and increased operating costs.
