Irrigation wells are critical to the farming and ranching areas of our nation and around the world. The systems that are supplied by these wells require that they produce water at the rate for which they were designed. Many times, irrigation wells and other types of wells lose their original specific capacity. This can happen over a long period of time, or in some cases, very quickly, depending on the cause. For example, we recently experienced a 1,850 gpm irrigation well being reduced over time to 50 gpm. After rehabilitating the well, it was returned to the original output of 1,850 gpm.
