A water well drilling rig may disturb vegetation,
soil and groundwater.
Measures reduce such ecological impacts.
-
Protect and restore vegetation: Choose wasteland or roadsides to avoid damaging native plants. Replant after work. A reserve’s 20㎡ site recovered 80% vegetation in 3 months, blending with surroundings.
-
Manage drilling fluids and prevent groundwater pollution: Use closed circulation systems to stop spills. Pick eco-friendly, degradable fluids. A farm area’s biodegradable fluid caused no soil harm—tests passed. Keep oil/chemicals out of holes; use clean samplers. A water source’s samples matched background levels.
-
Handle solid waste properly: Store cores neatly; collect waste mud and oil for professional disposal. A team dehydrated mud, sent to landfills; treated wastewater met standards.

These steps minimize the water well drilling rig’s impact. They balance exploration and environmental protection for water well drilling rig.
