Description

These irrigation well standards include many accepted practices and techniques presently in use in South Dakota and in other states. In South Dakota the standards do not constitute law and should not be considered as such. They do not represent any attempt to dictate any specific well drilling technique as the previous experience of drillers and contractors will probably establish the most acceptable techniques in any given geographical area. This publication aims to encourage use of these standards to whatever degree contractees and contractors consider necessary to upgrade the quality of irrigation well construction throughout the state. The standards should give contractees and contractors a medium for negotiating a contract. Written contracts are recommended. Contracts should include such details as disposal of waste, providing and delivering water for hydraulic drilling, clean-up, payment of any necessary fees and other factors.
