Agricultural drilling

At SOS PuitsAt SOS Puits, we understand the importance of adhering to the standards set by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and Fight against Climate Change for constructing wells in agricultural zones. It's crucial to follow specific criteria to ensure the safety and quality of water.

Regulatory distances for agricultural drilling

When drilling a well in agricultural zones, we ensure that it is located more than 30 meters (100 feet) away from the following installations:

• Animal husbandry installations
• Animal manure storage facilities
• Pastures (or exercise yards)
• Composting areas
• Non-sealed wastewater treatment systems
• Cultivated plots (fields, meadows, vineyards, orchards, etc.)

Considerations for your future projects

When drilling on your agricultural land, it's essential to consider your future development projects, such as expanding your facilities. This ensures that the well is positioned to meet both your current and future needs.

Water needs of farmers

Farmers' water needs are often much greater than those of a residence. To avoid any risk of water shortage, we recommend using 8-inch pipes instead of 6-inch ones. This simple diameter change allows for a water reserve nearly twice as large, significantly reducing the chances of running out of water and disrupting farm operations.
