From time to time water wells might fail to produce the quantity or the quality of water they were once capable of; rather than abandon the well and incur the cost of a new one being drilled they can often be rehabilitated. Our experienced engineering team have worked on a number of water well / [...]
Although the vast majority of boreholes we drill here at Dales Water are used for domestic or commercial purposes such as irrigation or agricultural use; from time to time we also drill them when their main use is for research or exploratory purposes. This can be for specific geophysical research organisations, Government Agencies or Universities [...]
We recently read an article regarding well water (borehole) supplies declining across the world on the Guardian's Environmental Section. The world is seeing the collision between population growth and water supply at the regional level. For the first time in history, grain production is dropping in a geographic region with nothing in sight to arrest [...]
A full private water supply installation is made up from various components including submersible pumps, headworks, control systems and in some cases, depending on the requirements – water storage tanks. Water storage tanks are often used if the borehole or spring water supply doesn’t yield enough water on demand or the borehole needs chance to [...]
Alongside the Water Well Journal another magazine we have delivered to our offices is Pig World, the official magazine of the National Pig Association (NPA). Having been long time subscribers we were asked by the team at Pig World to help them with an article about the benefits of a private water supply and the [...]
Installing private water supplies and drilling boreholes for our customers often involves the installation of underground pipework to deliver water from the source to the area of its intended use. Traditional methods of installing pipework can often be very disruptive and have various limitations so one technique our engineers are using more and more is [...]
Last year we were lucky enough to feature on BBC Radio 5 Live and this year we have made our television debut albeit by chance as one of the Dales Water Service & Maintenance Vans featured in Episode 4 of this years series of the ITV show 'The Dales'. Now in it's third season and [...]
With summer now finally arriving the good weather has two big consequences for golf courses – 1. More people playing golf which is fantastic news for them but 2. Much more water is required to look after the golf course and keep it in tip top condition when under heavy use. During the height of [...]
We recently worked with the Water Well Journal to produce an article that looked at the UK and US groundwater industries from the view point of both a veteran water well contractor and a professional who has been in the industry shorter amount of time. Two of our directors, Chris Dodds and Jonathan Dalton stepped [...]
Selecting the correct borehole pump for your borehole is very important and quite often, usually to detrimental effect, something that is not given the time, consideration and effort that it requires. Selecting the Best Borehole and Booster Pumps We have significant in-house experience of specifying and installing the correct pump for the particular situation, whether [...]
