What causes a well to produce less water?

Reduced water output from wells is a common problem, which usually indicates a change in the groundwater system. Here are some possible causes of reduced water output from wells:

Groundwater Resources

Declining Groundwater Levels: Declining groundwater levels due to overpumping, drought, climate change, etc. can lead to a decrease in the amount of water produced by a well.
Aquifer depletion: prolonged over-pumping may lead to aquifer depletion, resulting in drying up of wells.
Aquifer Contamination: Contamination of groundwater, resulting in poor or even unusable water quality.

Well Tools

Clogged Filter Tubing: Filter tubing is clogged with sediment, rust, etc., affecting water infiltration.
Collapsed well wall: Collapsed well wall will reduce the diameter of the well, affecting the amount of water produced.
Pump Damage: The water pump is malfunctioning or damaged, preventing effective pumping.

Other Factors

Seasonal changes: Groundwater level changes during rainy and dry seasons.

Surrounding environment changes: Changes in the surrounding environment, such as building construction and changes in vegetation, can also affect groundwater flow.

What can I do to solve the problem of reduced water flow from my well?

Professional Inspection: The first step is to have the well inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the decrease in water flow.
Clean the Filter Pipe: If the filter pipe is clogged, it needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Repair or Replace Pump: If the pump is the problem, repair or replace it.
Deepen the well: If the water table is dropping, consider deepening the well.
Artificial rainfall: In dry areas, consider artificial rainfall to increase groundwater storage.
Rational use of water resources: Reduce water consumption and improve water use efficiency.

In short, the small amount of water from the well needs to be considered from a variety of reasons, If you need to re-drill the well, please click on the link below to contact our professional team to buy well drilling equipment .
