Simply put, this kind of well is specially designed for irrigation and water extraction. The hole is only this big, and then a steel pipe is put down to fix it, and a pressure water pump is used to draw water from it. Just press it a few times and the water will come up by itself.
Even a child of seven or eight years old can easily get water under pressure.
The cost of drilling a well like this is estimated to be under 100 yuan, and it only takes two or three days.”
"What? There is such a well? Awang, are you telling the truth? How did you know about this water-pressurizing well?"
County Magistrate Xiong became excited again, because if what Lin Huowang said was true, then such a water pressure well would definitely be a powerful tool for agricultural irrigation.
Without spending a lot of manpower and material resources, groundwater can be used to irrigate crops conveniently and quickly. For farmers, this is simply a miracle.
"County Magistrate Xiong, I also heard this from several old professors who were once sent to the bullpen.
At that time, when they saw our production team carrying water for irrigation, they said that if we dug a few pressurized wells, we could easily solve the irrigation problem and save a lot of manpower.
I heard from them that this type of water pressure well has a history of hundreds of years in foreign countries. In the 1950s, our country also introduced Soviet-style manual pump water pressure wells.
Later, in 1964, Luoyang No. 1 Tractor Manufacturing Plant successfully imitated this water pressure well.
In Jilin Province, 20 water pressure wells were installed in Yushu County as a pilot project in 1971. However, due to the unrest, the project was not popularized and eventually came to nothing.
I was also flipping through books at home these past two days and found the introductions and manuscripts about water pressure wells left by those old professors.
Thinking about the drought in Baishan County in the past two years, I thought we could alleviate the drought by digging this water well..."
As he spoke, Lin Huowang took out a stack of drawings from his army green crossbody bag.
He said that it was left by the old professors who were sent to the cowshed, but in fact, it was made by Lin Huowang himself in the past two days.
When he was the director of the Forestry Bureau in his previous life, he presided over the popularization project of pressurized water wells in Baishan County. With the subsidy of the county finance, he drilled nearly 2,000 pressurized water wells in the county, greatly improving the irrigation efficiency of crops.
According to the data they collected at the time, the irrigation efficiency in flat land increased fourfold, and the irrigation efficiency in mountainous areas increased as much as eightfold.
The corn yield per mu also increased from 180 kilograms to 310 kilograms.
It can be said that if this water pressure well can be popularized in the three northeastern provinces, it will definitely be a powerful tool to increase the grain production in this vast area of black soil.
