Hello I am Sgt Castillo, I am stationed in Afghanistan and I was
wondering if you could provide us with math figures on how to
determine an appropriate well pump size for a PVC pipe with an inner
diameter of 8 inches to a depth of 1200 feet, and enough flow rate for
120 people to handle basic facilities.


could you also give us the table information so we can figure this out
for diffrent well sizes casing's and depth. Please

or could you please point us in the right direction Thanks

You'll probably want TM 5-81301
(WATER SUPPLY SOURCES AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS) too.

How did you get to be a Sgt, without knowing to check for
training documents first? If you're halfway lucky, you
can spend your entire career without ever being asked to
do anything that's not explained in the FMs.

I expect that it's because the forces are overstretched and non-
specialists are being forced into roles (in this case well drilling)
that they weren't trained for.

Well, yeah, but that's kind of my point. It's not that
I expected him to know how to drill a well, it's that I expected
him to know that, pretty much anything the army asks you to do,
there's a FM for it. If you've got access to
alt.home.repair, you've probably got access to
http://www.adtdl.army.mil/

Somewhere in there, they've probably got directions
for how to take a shower, as well as six different
ways to build one.

Yep. I would expect any NCO to know about the FMs. I was in AF but
we had a shelf of army FMs for some reason at one station. I would
browse through them when pulling CQ - interesting reading.
