gravel-wall well: A type of well used in a water-bearing formation containing a large proportion of fine-grained material which permits the passage of water at low velocity. Gravel is introduced around the screen or intake section of the well to increase the specific capacity and to prevent extremely fine material from flowing into the well. Depending on detail of construction, such wells are called gravel well, gravel-envelope well, gravel-filled well, gravel-packed well. 2, record 3, English, - gravel%2Dpacked%20well

Surge-blocks, swabs, or plungers are disc shaped devices made to fit tightly within the well. Their edges are usually fitted with rubber or leather rings to make a tight seal against the well casing. Pipe sections are then attached to the surge-block to lower it into the well, above the well screen, and about 15 feet below the water level. The assembly is then repeatedly lifted up and down. The up and down action of the surge-block creates suction and compression strokes that force water in and out of the well through the screened interval, gravel pack, and aquifer. It works like a plunger in the way that it removes small obstructions and sediments from the well. The surge-block is slowly lowered each time resistance begins to decrease. 2, record 5, English, - surge%20block

Selon les sources consultées, «puits filtrant» est soit synonyme de «pointe filtrante», soit qu'il s’en distingue de par ses dimensions et par le fait de comporter une pompe immergée; selon d’autres, il ne désigne plus un tube métallique mais un trou foré(puits) terminé en sa partie inférieure par une crépine; pour ajouter à la confusion, «pointe filtrante» peut ne désigner que la partie inférieure d’un puits foncé. 6, record 11, French, - pointe%20filtrante
