SHALLOW IRRIGATION WELLS IN THE UPPER THAMES VALLEY
Strata Co provides site-specific assessment, drilling, well completion, pump, storage, water testing, filtration, irrigation integration and maintenance for gardens, estates, farms, nurseries, allotments and commercial landscapes around Lechlade, Fairford, South Cerney and Cricklade.
Local Water-Well Potential
In the Upper Thames region, river-terrace gravels and alluvial deposits can sometimes support practical shallow irrigation supplies. However, these geological features are highly variable. The feasibility of any well depends on localized groundwater conditions that are site-specific and cannot be guaranteed before drilling and testing.
Areas We Cover
We focus our shallow well services on the geology typical of the Upper Thames Valley, covering projects around Lechlade, Fairford, South Cerney, and Cricklade, where alluvial and terrace deposits are most prevalent.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for those managing gardens, estates, farms, nurseries, allotments, and commercial primary landscapes. Shallow wells offer a potential alternative source for irrigation, provided the site geology allows for a practical borehole yield.
Our Process
- desktop geology and mapping review
- access assessment
- drilling and lining
- well development
- test pumping
- pump and storage design
- water testing
- filtration where needed
- irrigation integration
- maintenance
What Affects Feasibility
Success is contingent on multiple factors including geology, site access, seasonal groundwater fluctuations, and final borehole depth. Yield and water quality are specific to each borehole and cannot be definitively determined until drilling and laboratory testing are completed.
