Baptist well drilling
Have you ever heard of getting water from a well in your backyard? Well, there are some people called Baptists who have a special way of digging wells so you can get water from underground.
To start, they use a big round drill that goes down into the ground. It spins round and round, kind of like a merry-go-round, but much bigger! As the drill turns, it creates a hole in the ground.
Now, because we don't want any dirt or rocks to fall in the hole, the Baptists use something called casing. This is like a big straw that goes down into the hole. The drill makes the hole just a little bigger than the casing, so they can fit it in snugly. The casing is also used to make sure the water doesn't get mixed up with the dirt and rocks.
Once the hole is deep enough, the Baptists take out the drill and put a small explosive device at the bottom. They set it off, which makes the ground shake and the water come up through the casing like a straw. Now, you have a well that can give you water whenever you need it!
It might sound like magic, but it's really a special way of using science and machinery to get water when there isn't any readily available. The Baptists have been doing this for a long time and they are experts at digging wells that can last for many years.
