What are Well Capacity and Yield Tests?

Conducting yield tests is crucial for several reasons. Here are three key benefits that illustrate why these tests are essential for well owners:

1. Determining Water Availability: Yield tests provide crucial data on the amount of water available, helping you gauge whether the well can support your household or irrigation needs.
2. Preventing Overuse: These tests help prevent well overuse, which can lead to a decrease in water levels and potential well failure.
3. Planning for the Future: Understanding your well’s capacity aids in planning for additional water needs or potential property development.
   

Mad River Well Services performs yield tests by pumping the well at a set rate and measuring the water level’s response. This process helps determine the sustainable water yield without risking damage to the well’s long-term productivity.

Professional testing by experts like Mad River Well Services ensures accurate and reliable results. They use advanced techniques and equipment to assess performance and provide recommendations for maintenance or upgrades if necessary.
