The white casing pipe measures 18 inches in diameter. Water pumped from an aquifer through the casing can be up to 1,200 gallons per minute, which is better than the well it replaced.

A length of white casing measures 18 inches in diameter. The well that uses this casing can pump a maximum of 1,200 gallons per minute, but in normal service it will produce 700 gallons per minute.
A drilling rig combines many parts, including the drilling bit that allows the rig to go deep beneath the Earth's surface to find water-storing aquifers to feed thirsty irrigation systems.
