INNOVATION Mar-Apr 2020

The equipment used during the Coldstream Ranch Well 2015 plugging operation in 2015 shows the drill rig was set up over the well (right), and the temporary tanks and piping used to manage water from the month-long dewatering operation (left). Water from the collection tanks was piped underneath the new section of pavement (bottom right). Water from the well was discharged to locations based on its quality: turbid water was irrigated onto a field for slow recharge to ground, and clear water was piped 350 metres to Coldstream Creek.
