Even a well that initially produces clean water will naturally accumulate materials over time. Here’s a clear, practical explanation relevant to water boreholes 👇 Why a Borehole Needs Periodic Cleaning 1. Sediment & Fine Sand Accumulation Fine sand, silt, and clay slowly enter the well from the formation. Over time, these settle at the b
