- Distance between greywater/reedbed and the well is about 240 meters
- Well will be about 70m deep
- All of the land slopes gently towards the well

There's nothing we can do about the location of the well, but the location of the greywater/reedbed is still to be decided, unfortunately no matter where we put it, it will be upstream from the well.

might be a little helpful on the general issue of water abstraction.

This was out of necessity as there was no water available on the land and we need it for a planned olive grove.]]> Greywater, sewage treatment and water wells https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2410&Focus=31472#Comment_31472 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2410&Focus=31472#Comment_31472 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 05:33:09 +0100 Terry Greywater, sewage treatment and water wells https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2410&Focus=31543#Comment_31543 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2410&Focus=31543#Comment_31543 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:59:21 +0100 DAI_EVANS
