Water System Efficiency: Myth or Reality

Presented on Thursday, December 11, 2014

Water system efficiency includes both well efficiency and pump efficiency. Well efficiency will be defined and how it is achieved with proper design, construction, and development. Pump efficiency should be a major factor in pump selection, and how to use pump information will be discussed. The cost of both well and pump inefficiency are major contributors to increased cost of water. Cost of water is a major consideration for many groundwater users, so any savings is a worthy goal.
