Abstract
A well structure for providing drinking water. The well structure includes slotted horizontal collectors connected laterally to a fitting connector. A well casing is connected to a top of the fitting connector. The fitting connector is positioned in a bottom of the well bore such that the horizontal collectors are perpendicular to groundwater flow. Crushed stones are deposited in a lower portion of the well bore and allow groundwater to flow down and into the slots of the horizontal collectors. A geotextile filter fabric is placed over the crushed-stone fill. A pump is placed in the well casing to pump the groundwater to the land surface. A loam soil fill is deposited over the geotextile filter fabric. A seal is placed around the well casing under the land surface. A vented, removable cap with a rubber seal is placed over a top of the well casing and secured.
