Bored Wells:

These are the tubular wells bored or drilled deep into the ground, intercepting one or more water bearing strata to abstract ground water from range(s) of water bearing strata. This method is adopted for the construction of tube-wells. With the help of bored wells ground water can be obtained from both shallow as well as deep aquifers. Discharge upto 40-50 litre per second can be obtained with the help of these wells. Therefore, in India bored/drilled wells are most commonly used for water supply scheme.
