ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Pract

6、ices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, a

Keywords: Irrigation, Test, Wells 1 Purpose and Scope 1.1 This Engineering

14、Practice is intended as a guide for preparing specifications for irrigation well construction. The objective is to obtain economical wells of high productivity which are relatively sand free with a long projected life. In addition to this Engineering Practice, well design and construction should con

15、form to all applicable local, state and federal health, safety, and other regulations. 1.2 The scope of this Engineering Practice is directed to wells constructed to obtain ground water for irrigation purposes; however, many of the details presented herein also are suitable for domestic, municipal,

16、and industrial wells. 1.3 The pump, power unit, and irrigation systems are not part of this guide. However, because they are all interdependent, certain related factors are included. 2 Definitions 2.1 abandoned well: Well that has been decommissioned using procedures presented in clause 8, to elimin

17、ate the potential for contamination of the aquifer(s). 2.2 Disize retained: The particle diameter such that i% (by mass) of a granular material is of larger diameter. 2.3 drawdown: The elevation of the static water level in a well minus the elevation of the pumping water level (at the well) at a giv

18、en discharge. 2.4 filter pack: Sand, gravel, or fibrous materials artificially placed around a well screen or perforated casing to increase permeability near the well and prevent unwanted aquifer particles from entering the well. 2.5 pack material: Graded gravel and sand aggregates placed around a w

19、ell screen to prevent infiltration of fine materials. 2.6 perforated casing: A section of commercial screen or machine perforated well casing with openings for water entry. ANSI/ASAE EP400.3 OCT2007 (R2012) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 2 2.7 pump column: The pi

20、pe column through which water from well pumps is conveyed to the ground surface. 2.8 screen: An approved manufactured well casing including precisely dimensioned punches, louvers, continuous wound, stacked ring or reinforced wire-wrap designs. 2.9 specific capacity: Well discharge divided by the wat

21、er level drawdown when the well has reached steady-state conditions. 2.10 stabilizer pack: Artificially placed material around a well casing as a formation and borehole stabilizer where the character of the aquifer does not require a filter. 2.11 test hole: A bore hole drilled through underground fo

22、rmations to map the geology of the area or to evaluate the site to determine if sufficient yield is present to meet irrigation well design requirements. 2.12 tremie: A temporary pipe used to artificially place grout or filter pack material which extends almost to the well bottom that is withdrawn as

23、 pack material is fed through it. 2.13 uniformity coefficient: The ratio of the D40size to the D90size of a granular material. 2.14 well abandonment: The process of decommissioning a well by sealing and filling the well bore so that contamination cannot occur between aquifers or from the land surfac

24、e. Well abandonment procedures are necessary for test holes and wells no longer used. 2.15 well casing: A pipe installed within a borehole to prevent collapse of sidewall material, to receive and protect pump and pump column, or to isolate confined or under-producing aquifer zones. 2.16 well develop

25、ment: The process of removing fine formation materials or materials introduced during well construction from the well intake zone for the purpose of stabilizing and increasing permeability of the well intake zone. 2.17 well efficiency: Ratio of theoretical drawdown to measured drawdown. Theoretical

26、drawdown is estimated from adjacent observation well data obtained during well test. 2.18 well decommissioning: Process of following approved governmental regulations for the placement of disinfected gravel or grout into well bore during well abandonment. 2.19 well inlet: That part of the well which

27、 has a screen or perforated casing through which water enters. 2.20 well intake zone: The portion of the well surrounding the well inlet that is modified by the well construction and development processes. This includes the space between the well inlet and the undisturbed aquifer (see 4.2 for detail

28、s.) 2.21 well sealing: Process of artificially placing approved grout or filter pack material into the well annular space to prevent commingling of water between different aquifers and movement of water into an aquifer from the land surface. 2.22 well test: Determination of well yield vs. drawdown r

29、elationship with time. 2.23 well yield: Discharge rate that can be sustained from a well for some specified period of time. 3 General Recommendations 3.1 Several factors are pertinent to irrigation well construction but are separate from the immediate design and construction details. The following f

30、actors should be included in the written contract(s): ANSI/ASAE EP400.3 OCT2007 (R2012) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 3 3.1.1 Location and scope of work. The location of the proposed irrigation well work should be expressed as accurately as possible and practica

31、l. An accurate map of the well site should be drawn. The extent of the work should be clearly described with the understanding that the exact conditions under the ground surface are not completely known prior to commencement of work. It may be advisable to have separate contracts for test hole drill

32、ing and for the irrigation well itself since irrigation well specifications and contract should not be completed until test hole data have been analyzed. 3.1.2 Permits, licenses, and registration. All applicable governmental regulations regarding permits, licenses, and registration should be satisfi

33、ed. A determination of who has the responsibility to furnish necessary information, submit the required forms to the proper agencies, and secure the appropriate documents should be made. 3.1.3 Insurance, health, and safety requirements. Adequate liability, personal, workmans compensation, and proper

34、ty insurance for drilling operations and a healthy and safe working environment should be maintained. 3.1.4 Access to the well construction site. After the final decision on exact location of site(s) is made, access to this land with sufficient working space for the drilling operations shall be gran

35、ted. 3.1.5 Obstructions. The site should be investigated prior to start of drilling and the owner informed of any hazards or obstructions, such as overhead power lines, buried cables, and buried pipes, which may affect the location of the test or production well. Any known underground obstructions n

36、ot readily visible should be identified. 3.1.6 Water supply for drilling. The source of the water for drilling and who is responsible for it should be clearly understood. The water should be analyzed for possible contaminants prior to use. 3.1.7 Records. A copy of the completed well construction det

37、ails, well log, development record, and well test data and an “as- built drawing” should be supplied to the owner and appropriate governmental agency. The information provided shall include: Global Position System coordinates of the well site; type and diameter of casing; length, diameter, and posit

38、ion of the screen; filter pack particle size analysis; position and intervals of annular space filter pack and grout seals or stabilizer blocks; the diameter of the well bore. 3.1.8 Water-level measurement access. When the permanent pump is installed in the well after completion, a sealed access to

39、the well casing should be provided to allow future water level measurements. It is recommended that a permanent air or sounding tube be installed at the time the pump is set (see 9.3.1 for details). 4 Design 4.1 Test holes. Aquifers vary in areal extent, thickness, and composition. Several test hole

40、s may be required to locate a suitable aquifer(s) and obtain formation and water samples. 4.1.1 Number and location of test holes. The number of test holes required to properly select a production well location usually cannot be precisely determined before test drilling begins. Therefore, as the wor

41、k ANSI/ASAE EP400.3 OCT2007 (R2012) Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers 4 proceeds, the number of test holes should be mutually agreed upon, often in consultation with an engineer or hydrogeologist. 4.1.2 Test hole diameter. Test holes should be drilled sufficiently l

42、arge to obtain accurate samples of the formations encountered and to allow proper testing, e.g., geophysical logging. The holes should be at least 75 mm (3 in.) and preferably 100 mm (4 in.) or more in diameter. 4.1.3 Test hole depth. Knowledge of the geology of the area and inspection of logs of ot

43、her wells or test holes are used to estimate the approximate depth to which test holes should be drilled. Each test hole should be drilled to a sufficient depth for determining the desirable or undesirable characteristics of the formations. Normally, this will be through the entire water-bearing for

44、mation. However, where thick formations are encountered and high capacity wells are not required, the drilling need not penetrate the entire formation. 4.1.4 Test hole casing. Test holes may require casing to prevent caving and/or to maintain the hole for extended periods. 4.1.5 Test hole log. A com

45、plete and accurate log of each test hole shall be kept and a copy furnished to the owner along with the location of each test hole. The log shall include: sample description at intervals of depth; drilling time; drilling action; fluid losses. Samples of the water-bearing material should be taken at

46、each lithologic change in formation and as often as necessary to accurately log the formations penetrated. This is normally every 1.5 m (5 ft) but should be reduced to a shorter interval in thin, highly stratified aquifers. Each sample should contain at least 0.5 kg (1 lb) of the formation material.

47、 4.1.6 Sampling procedure. Accurate samples are important to successful well design. Sampling procedures vary with drilling method and type of sampling equipment used. Detailed procedures should be included in the contract. 4.1.7 Geophysical logging. Additional information for determination of super

48、ior water producing aquifers (for well inlet location) and location of aquifers producing poor quality water may be obtained by geophysical logging equipment, particularly in a test hole selected near the location for constructing the production well. The most common geophysical logs for irrigation

49、wells are natural gamma ray, electrical resistance, and spontaneous potential logs. 4.1.8 Test hole abandonment. Test holes shall be abandoned according to procedures presented in clause 8 as soon as possible and no more than 10 days after they have served their function. 4.1.9 Water sampling. Water samples should be taken for water quality analysis after the well has been pumped until clear water is produced. The water sample should be analyzed for chemical content affecting corrosion, incrustation, iron bacteria growth, and irrigation sui
