There are different water well drilling techniques, and each one is suitable depending on the type of terrain, the required depth, and the final use of the well. Knowing them helps make the best decision for each project.

Rotary drilling

This is one of the most widely used techniques. It works by means of a rotating drill bit that continuously penetrates the ground.

Advantages:

• Ideal for soft or mixed soils

• High precision

• Fast execution

Percussion and rotary-percussion drilling

This technique combines rotation and impact, making it highly effective in hard or rocky terrain.

Advantages:

• High resistance

• Suitable for medium and great depths

• Widely used in areas with compact rock

Reverse circulation drilling

This method is mainly used for large diameters and more complex projects, such as agricultural or industrial wells.

Advantages:

• Excellent well cleaning

• Greater wall stability

• Ideal for high flow rates

Which technique should you choose?

The choice depends on:

• Type of terrain

• Required depth

• Use of the well

• Available budget

A preliminary land study is key to determining the most efficient and cost-effective technique.
