[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 164600, member: 3111"] Ill find a youtube link today to explain it better. Im not doing hard rock drilling needing diamond core tipped parts n that.. Im using pvc pipe, several lengths, going down 15-30meter by hand, not drill. There is a metal tube cut on an angle for a "drill bit" followed by a simple marble one-way valve that sends water rock and dirt back up to the surface. Water tables or even a pocket can be replenished / recharged so even if it is super dry, the rain will refill it with a little bit of man power. Once a table has been found, and pvc pipe reaches the surface, the "pump" is activated via hand pump or a very small compressor and capped with an EMAS hand water pump. No machinery involved. Just water, a human, one way valve / bit and pvc pipe. p.s: this is mostly to get through sandstone, clay, silt and dirt - not intended for lifting rock or going through rock at all As for the law, im sure there are some, but theres always a way.
