Equipment

Cable percussion (cable tool) drilling is the simplest, most reliable, and economical technology available for drilling water wells. It will drill any material and is completely self contained - requires no mud, mud pits, auxiliary pumps or chemicals, yet will drill through rock without additional equipment. Drilling depth is only limited by the length of wire cable fitted. It is an effective drilling method which is particularly appropriate for water sources between 50 and 200 feet but can drill to depths of 500 feet.

Drilling Equipment Here you will find pictures and descriptions of the equipment used to drill the wells.
