What is the primary goal of Jetting in well development?

The primary goal of jetting in well development is to increase the well's yield. Jetting involves the use of high-velocity water jets that help to dislodge sediment and other materials from the well screen and surrounding formation. By doing so, it enhances the permeability of the well and improves water flow rates, ultimately resulting in a higher yield. This process is particularly useful in developing new wells or rehabilitating existing ones that have experienced reduced performance over time.

While creating a vacuum in the well, lowering the static water level, and removing obstructions could be part of overall well maintenance or development strategies, they are not the primary focus of jetting. The main objective is to enhance the flow of groundwater into the well, making the increase in yield the most relevant outcome of this technique.
