Which is better: Abyssinian well or well?

Greetings to all those interested in the construction of wells and on your channel. Here I publish useful articles and now you got that one, in which I compare Abyssinian well and the well is: which is better?

For a basis of comparison, take Abyssinian well depth of 17 meters and a well depth of 35 meters.

Parameter 1: The price

Abyssinian well, of course, will cost you much less well. The cost price of it - about 4,000 rubles (HDPE pipe) or 10,000 (galvanized-pipe).

Option 2: seat

For Abyssinian well need little space - it can even be drilled in the basement, although it is very undesirable. And it is possible to pump the hand pump - even without electricity.

Parameter 3: life.

And here abissinssky well noticeably loses the hole. The fact that it is made from small diameter tubes, respectively, filter it (even if it is large in length), clogged very quickly - in 3-4 years.

In addition, well outside the filter sprinkled with gravel - it does not give the filter silted. Yes, and well provided a constant pumping does not stagnate and silts up - cleans itself is said to drillers.

Parameter 4: performance.

The well produces, on average 2.5 times more water than Abyssinian well.

Parameter 5: maintainability.

Any of the well can be cleaned deposition: slugging airlift or citric acid (if the filter is not only copper).
But the Abyssinian well wash, alas, is impossible.

You can definitely be said that it is better: Abyssinian well or borehole? - As much as I wanted to give a definite answer - it is not.

In choosing between these two sources of water a key issue - those finances available to the people. Those who have money, trying to do everything once and for a long time ("We are not rich enough to buy a one-time thing").

Anyone who urgently need water, and cheaper, of course, it's better to choose the Abyssinian well.
