The fanner in this case was lucky in finding water at a
comparatively higher level. Usually water is found at a much
greater depth, say 40 to 50 feet below the surface of the ground.
In that case, the cost of digging, masonry work, etc., comes to
almost double the cost we have arrived at above. Thus the cost
of sinking a well in Atgam varies from about Rs. 400 to Rs. 800.
