Borewell Safety & Condition Logger
Borewell site checks — capping, casing, platform, pump condition and abandoned-well hazards (Supreme Court guidelines); offline + GPS.
New borewell inspection
Survey all borewells in your jurisdiction annually; verify capping of abandoned wells immediately on drilling completion or pump removal.
Field guide: Borewell Safety & Condition Logger
Open borewells kill children — the recurring tragedy that pushed India's Supreme Court to issue specific guidelines (2010, since reinforced): registration of wells, fencing during drilling, capping with welded or bolted covers on completion, and filling abandoned wells to ground level. A 150 mm uncased hole hidden in grass is invisible until it isn't. This logger is built for the village/ward-level survey that finds them: status, capping quality (a stone over the hole is logged as the hazard it is), and the owner field that makes someone responsible.
Active wells get their own checks — the cement platform that keeps surface contamination out, the casing height, sand in the discharge (a failing screen and a collapsing well), and the panel wiring that electrocutes more operators than wells swallow children. The 'rig on site' status matters: drilling sites need fencing and signage during the days the hole stands open, exactly when the rules and attention are weakest.
Field tips
- Survey during dry season when failed wells are most likely to be abandoned, and after harvest when wells hidden by crops reappear.
- Probe 'covered' wells: a cap you can slide off with one hand earns the same class as no cap — children are stronger than assumptions.
- Record the owner field every time; capping disputes stall on responsibility, and a logged name with a date settles momentum.

Frequently asked questions
What do the Supreme Court guidelines require?+
Key directions: registration of borewell construction with authorities; signage and barricading at drilling sites; capping of well assemblies with welded steel plates or bolted covers; filling abandoned borewells with clay/sand/gravel up to ground level with verification; and district-level monitoring of compliance. Most states implement them via revenue/panchayat machinery — your survey is its field arm.
What's the correct way to permanently close a borewell?+
Fill the bore from bottom up — gravel/cuttings in the lower section, sand, then a clay or concrete seal near the surface; cut casing below grade and bury. Just capping leaves a deathtrap one theft away (steel caps get stolen). 'Capped only' status in this log exists to track those wells until proper filling happens.
Why does the cement platform around a well matter?+
The platform (typically 1 m × 1 m sloped) sheds spilled and surface water away from the casing — without it, water carries surface contamination straight down the annulus into the aquifer the village drinks. A cracked platform funneling water TO the casing is worse than none; it's a same-month repair finding.
What does sand in the discharge indicate?+
Screen or casing failure — the well is pumping its own formation. Beyond destroying pump impellers, it can develop voids that subside into surface pits (one of the 'pit forming' findings). Yield decline plus sand together usually mean the well is approaching abandonment — which is exactly when this log's closure tracking takes over.
