GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING A PRELIMINARY

INVESTIGATION FOR WATER SUPPLY WELLS

Prior to decision of drilling any supply wells, the Region requires a Preliminary
Investigation to be undertaken.
1- The investigation must started with Geophysical survey to demonstrate the
depth of groundwater and layer productivity.
2- prepare a hydrogeological study with initial
numerical model to determine the number and
location of required supply wells.
3- The hydrogeological study will include two BOQ, The
first BOQ for the test well and the second for all
required wells.
4- The next steps will include contract documents and
steps of contractor evaluation and tender awarding
5- Drilling of test well to the desired depth
which was recommended from the geophysical
survey and hydrogeological study
5- A- The drilling will start with a test bore
hole 8 inch,
5-B- conducting an electrical well logging
inside the test hole to determine the exact depth
of water bearing layers at test well location, and
5-C- Enlarge the hole desired to the desired
depth, then complete well installation.
5-D- Well development then conduct a
pumping test (Constant and Variable to
determine the exact hydraulic prosperities of
bearing layers.
6- review and edit the recommendations of well numbers and spacing which was
concluded in the numerical model, this step is necessary if initial assumed hydraulic
properties in the model differs than actual which obtained from the pumping test.

7- Continue drilling of other supply wells and continue with analysis of the results for
each well.
