Similar to a water well drilled for residential use, agricultural water wells are created by drilling a water well until an aquifer is located that contains enough water to supply the amount of water needed to support the livestock or crops that will be watered from this source. An agricultural water well is connected directly into a water pumping system that supplies water for anything from crops, to livestock barns, watering tanks, and fields. Rather than rely on municipal water, which can be expensive and can contain additives, a dedicated crop and or livestock water well system enables you to have full control over your water supply quality, without the worry of adding chemicals into the environment, as well as the quantity.

In essence geothermal energy is heat from the earth which is caused by the sun’s year round constant heating of the earth to 45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Geothermal energy is a natural and renewable resource which can be harnessed through geothermal heating and cooling systems to cool and heat a home in the summer and winter months. The basic principles of ground water geothermal wells are quite simple. The well water maintains a constant temperature all year round of 50 degrees Fahrenheit several miles below the ground’s surface. The well pump and piping in the well absorbs and transfers the water and heat of said water to the geothermal heat pump inside the building. Once there the geothermal heat pump concentrates and transfers the heat from the water to the buildings forced air ducts or radiant piping. In the summer forced air systems extract the heat from the air inside the home leaving the air cooler.
