Last month, I have made two bore wells near Kundalahalli area, one for 1100 and another for 1200 feet. While the one with 1200 feet is a total failure, the one with 1100 feet seems to have some water.
I did camera scanning on 3rd day after drilling and found that there is water source at 450 feet but the water was stored after 810 feet to 1100 feet. The camera scanner said that the water was draining out at 810 feet. After another 10 days I did another scan, but this time there was water storage from 450 feet.
Now that there have been some rains, I want to go for a temporary motor to check the yield of the bore well and decide if there is enough water to go for permanent pump.
The camera scanner person gave a contact of temporary motor person, but they asked for Rs 15 per feet for day. This seems quite expensive.
Can someone please suggest any reasonable contacts of temporary bore well providers?

Re: Temporary Borewell
The bore well industry is full of cheats like this. They will mint money for everything from scanning to fitting/removing pump and will usually charge per sqft. I had a similar problem with my bore well. Many suggested different techniques like filling the bottom of the hole with concrete, hydro fracturing etc. but I had already spent so much money on it that last week I sold the complete 650 ft pump set second hand for just 20k. We now have regular Cauvery water supply and I should have thought about it before dumping 2L into the hole. All I am saying is to think about all the options before pouring money into a bore well. I realized with 2L I could have bought a second hand water tanker and gifted it to a person in return of one load of water per day. Just saying
