Borehole pumps

A borehole is a narrow shaft bored in the groun either vertically or horizontally. This also helps prevent surface contaminants from entering the borehole and protects any installed pump from drawing in sand and sediment. Multiple stage submersible pumps are typically lowered down a borehole and most typically used for residential, commercial, municipal and .

A submersible pump (or sub pump, electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. Submersible pumps push fluid to the surface as opposed to jet pumps having to pull fluids. Submersibles are more efficient than jet pumps.


Borehole Mining (BHM) is a remote operated method of extracting (mining) mineral resources.

A BHM tool usually has (down-up): an eductor (waterjet pump) section, a hydromonitor section, an extension section and a hub, connecting it all to . Hand pumps are manually operated pumps; they use human power and mechanical. In communities reliant on groundwater, through a borehole or well, the . The bush pump, also known as the Zimbabwe bush pump, is a positive displacement pump based on lever action used to extract water from a bore hole well. A water well is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, boring, or drilling to access groundwater in underground aquifers. The well water is drawn by a pump, or using containers, such as buckets,.


Typically, boreholes drilled into solid rock are not cased until after the drilling process is complete . This frequently involves the use of submersible dewatering pumps,. A deep well typically consists of a boreholes fitted with a slotted liner and an .

A tube well is a type of water well in which a long 100–2millimetres (– in) wide stainless steel tube or pipe is bored into an underground aquifer. The lower end is fitted with a strainer, and a pump lifts water for irrigation. Casing to support the external surfaces of the borehole against collapse may be neede either . An airlift pump is a pump that has low suction and moderate discharge of liquid and entrained solids.


The pump injects compressed air at the bottom of the . A water well or a borehole is a vertical capture engineered structure used to exploit the water from a water table held in ().
