System of tube wells, is a method or system used to get
water from the soil using PVC pipe buried into the ground. It is also an
alternative to the use of water in the ground water is drawn from more than 20
meters or hundreds of feet below the earth's surface. Various methods can be
used for drilling and installing these pipes. After the water of the PVC pipe
is pumped using a hand pump or electric pump with rubber hose on the route.
What appears below is the first part of the work has been
completed, the second part has not yet started, which is to install a water
tank to store and filter the water before it is discharged into the rearing
ponds.
Tube Well
Drilling and underground water well construction initiated by inserting PVC pipe which measuring 5 inches wide into the hole that was excavated. The next soil from the PVC pipes, are removed by using PVC pipe width of 1.5 inches is also of connection. Drilling is done without using any machine drilling and without help from others. Then a hole measuring 3 feet had been dug around pipes for the purpose of screening and temporary storage of water as deep as 12 feet.
3-foot-deep hole was dug
Inserted the original soil.
Excavation work started by removing soil from the the pipes.
Clay removed from the pipe
Cover PVC pipes and rubber pipes installed for pumping stagnant water in and around pipes to facilitate excavation work.
Hole measuring 3 feet and 12 feet deep is dug around pipes intended to keep water out of the ground.
Air is pumped out to facilitate excavation work
Clay dug around pipes cultivated as deep as 44 feet.

Hole so deep as 12 feet have been excavated
Rocks and river sand was added to this hole to filter the water coming out from the soil because of low quality and smelly water and the red that is not suitable for drinking because they contain toxic metals. This water is used for distribution to the rearing ponds and to spray the trees.
Stone inserted into a hole dug.
River sand is also inserted
River sand & stone inserted up full.
Electric water pump used to pump water
Water clarity, the difference is not significant, the left side from the tube wells and water right from the the tap. This picture was taken on 5 April 2015.
Video displays the water flowing out of the pipe has been installed.
