[pdf] Some drillers dig blindly, which increases the risk of striking a weak aquifer. Seasonal Variations – Groundwater levels fluctuate, especially during droughts, reducing output in certain regions. Over-pumping – Drawing water too quickly can reduce pressure in the aquifer, lowering yield.
[pdf] Crawler and truck mounted hydraulic drilling rigs with a pull up capacity ranging from 10 to 30 tonnes, designed and optimized for the construction of water and geothermal wells with the use of double head drilling systems.
