The underground soil in mountainous areas is hard, especially at deep levels where there are large rocks.
The churning sounds of heavy machinery in the Terai Valley can be heard from a long distance away. They are digging deep wells...
Four wells have already produced water, all at a depth of 60 meters. Three wells in the Terai Valley have been started at the same time and have reached a depth of about 200 meters. They will continue to drill to at least 300 meters to ensure that there is still sufficient water production during the dry season.
There are also several wells under construction at the same time in the mountainous area...
In the river valley planting area, the land has been renovated, fertilized and left to dry. Grass seeds will be sown just after the first motorized well is completed.
Chen Mo plans to plant space alfalfa on all the land in the pasture.
As for the grains needed to feed livestock, you can purchase them from the Monterey Valley, or buy a farm elsewhere. The land in the Great Plains is more fertile, and growing crops in the mountains is a fun idea.
When they got home, Ara and Dasha greeted them enthusiastically. Dahua lay on the grass basking in the sun and glanced lazily at Chen Mo. Ah Li ran away without knowing where he was, and Chen Mo didn't show up even after shouting twice...
I went upstairs to take a shower, put on my winter pajamas and sat in front of the computer, looking online for information on biogas ponds, the latest Wagyu beef prices, and the prices of River Valley Angus cattle.
River Valley Angus cattle are Angus cattle that have been carefully bred for a long time. The meat is not cheap, especially the rib-eye steak...
…
The next day, at dawn, Chen Chen woke up Chen Mo and told him that he was going out to purchase wood today, and then ate outside in the morning.
Chen Mo continued to sleep and didn't get up until after eight o'clock. After eating, he drove out the family car and washed it out of boredom, then took the pickup truck to the machinery warehouse...
I bought a lot of vegetable seeds before, and there are still a lot of tree grapes waiting to be transplanted in Chen Mo's space. I drove a Xiaomeng Xiaomeng ego tractor. This tractor is only 3 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and weighs 1.3 tons. I installed a
Small rake, drag it back to the villa...
When they were almost home, a pickup truck full of mud came from the opposite direction, blocking Chen Mo's path: "Mr. Chen Mo, the creek is full of water."
"Yeah." The other person is an engineer from a drilling company and is responsible for deep well projects in mountainous areas.
The well has been drilled for more than ten days, and water is just coming out now, which is normal.
The upper reaches of the small valley are close to the rock park, and the underground is a karst layer...
"We found an underground river, and the water spurted out more than one meter high."
Chen Mo was startled for a moment and found the underground river.
The engineer's name was Howard. Before drilling the well, he had explored the mountainous terrain and said that there might be an underground river on the side of the small valley that connected to the mid-mountain waterfall in the rock park.
The Rock Park is just next door, a few hundred meters away. The Rock Falls is a well-known local waterfall, a small waterfall that usually appears after rain in winter.
Damn, I got rich.
"Is the current strong?"
"It's very big... the depth of the underground river is 95 meters. The water pressure was very high just now, and the well water spurted out for more than one meter. Now, the water output per minute is estimated to be more than 100 cubic meters... but it should come down."
"Take me there."
Chen Mo jumped off the tractor and sat on the pickup truck. Just as he was about to set off, a pickup truck drove up from behind. It was John...
The drilling engineer made the first call to John.
When John called Chen Mo and no one answered, he came over to take a look...
Along the small valley, murky water can be seen flowing in the originally dry stream channel, and the flow is not large.
Go deep into the end of the small valley, where the three peaks meet, and the small valley shaft is located here.
The altitude here is 291 meters, and there are rock layers 20 to 30 meters underground. The engineering team drilled through the rock layer and found an underground river 95 meters underground...
After driving for more than ten minutes along the winding mountain path, we finally arrived at the well.
The well is still bubbling out. It's not as exaggerated as Howard just described. It can keep bubbling out. The water output is at least as much as three or four open faucets, maybe more.
Looking at the water output at the wellhead, even if it does not stop all year round, the pasture will have one more seasonal stream. It will not really help the entire pasture much, but if a few high-power water pumps are thrown in...
The water has become clear, and standing next to it seems to be seeing a dark blue spring...
"Good job. But digging a well like this won't cause any trouble, right?" Chen Mo asked.
"How can there be trouble? We have a formal license, and you also have a deep well permit. There is no trouble..." Howard was even more excited than Chen Mo, and then said: "With this straight-flow well, there is no need to drill in this area of the creek valley.
Dig it."
"OK."
A sample of the water from the DC well was sent to the testing center for testing on the same day. It is rich in various natural minerals. It is high-quality natural water and can be drank directly.
If Chen Mo was not short of money, he could build a small natural mineral water plant here.
The underground river was opened and a direct-flow well appeared on the ranch. This was the best news Chen Mo received after buying the ranch.
The construction phase of a ranch is always troublesome, just like when building a snow mountain ranch, it was a headache to spend a lot of money every day, and it was depressing if there was no good news.
There are hills on three sides of the direct flow well in the small valley, and water actually comes out when it is drilled to a depth of more than 20 meters...
"How's the research on the valley's underground river going?" Chen Mo found Howard again.
"Based on the mountain topography and existing data analysis, this well may not be a four-season direct-flow well, or it may be a valley well head located at a relatively low altitude, surrounded by hills... Rock Park Waterfall and Small Valley Direct-flow Well should
It is the same underground river, and the altitude of the Rock Park Waterfall is 309 meters. The altitude difference from the wellhead is only 8 meters..."
The waterfall in the Rock Park is not big and will only appear after rain in winter.
"Okay then. Build a large water pumping station..."
In arid mountainous areas, water sources are extremely precious, especially clean running water.
A straight-flow well with continuous water output is not very large. The water flow is not very large. It is eaten up by the dry land before it reaches the reservoir. Only by building a large-scale pumping station can the value of the underground river be maximized and even ensure the future development of mountainous areas.
…
For the next period of time, Chen Mo would go to the DC Well in the creek every day to take a look...
Three high-power deep well pumps have been dropped into the deep well. The wellhead is covered with a concrete manhole cover, leaving a water outlet. A large pool is built around the wellhead. The water in the pool is transparent and clear. A pumping station is being built next to it, and the water outlet is located next to it.
…
In this way, the small valley will become a four-season stream with abundant water sources.
It would be too wasteful to use such a small valley to build pasture.
The water in the valley will flow into the reservoir, and cattle and sheep are raised in the valley. Even if the breeding density is not high, Chen Mo is still worried about polluting the water source.
After thinking for two days, Chen Mo decided to convert the pasture in the valley into a warehouse to plant fruit trees.
On the flat land in the valley, Chen Mo drove the 560-horsepower Lamborghini tractor from the machinery warehouse, and asked John to buy manure from other pastures... and he was busy alone in the valley.
