OPTIMUM WATER WELLS DESIGN OF KHARTOUM BAHRI AREA, SUDAN

Ground water is the most important resource in Sudan. Demand for groundwater in Khartoum area has recently increased considerably in order to meet the needs for domestic, irrigation and industrial purposes. The optimum design and construction of water wells is highly required in order to maximize the benefits from water wells. This paper discuses optimum design for the Khartoum Bahri area using well design procedure, hydrological and litholology information for the study area to produce a combination of longevity, performance, water good quality free from contamination and cost effectiveness.
