Map of the depths of artesian wells in the Moscow region.

For hundreds of years, the only way to measure ocean depth was with a weight, usually lead, attached to a thin rope. Not only was this method time-consuming, it was also highly inaccurate. Ship drift or water currents could pull the rope away at an angle, making depth measurements inaccurate. Then the ropes were replaced by echo sounders (sonars). Bathymetric studies have shown that the topography of the ocean floor is very diverse. Hidden underwater are plains, canyons, active and extinct volcanoes, and mountain ranges.

In 1978, an experimental satellite was launched to study the oceans. One of the amazing discoveries then was the fact that the surface of the ocean is not “flat”, but falls and rises in different areas. When the ocean surface was mapped, it turned out that the lows corresponded to depressions on the sea floor, and the highs corresponded to sea mountains and mountain ranges. Over time, technical capabilities have increased. Satellites appeared and detailed maps of the depths of the entire world ocean were compiled.

The reason for these drops and rises in the ocean surface is in the Earth's gravitational field. This is the gravity model created by the GRACE satellite:

As a result of the painstaking work of the satellites, other interesting maps appeared. This amazing infographic visualizes the world's deepest places. There is also Lake Baikal, which can be compared with other deep lakes in the world.

But finally all the secrets of the ocean topography were discovered with the help of satellites such as Jason-1 and Jason-2.

Satellite altimeters measure sea surface elevation and other features of the ocean surface. Using emitted microwaves, they measure the height of ocean water, help create weather maps, predict the formation of hurricanes and monitor ocean levels.

To create a map like this, we needed a summary of the bathymetry and topography of the seabed. Here you can see the relief features of the earth's surface under water, and on the graph you can find out the depth of the world's oceans in meters.

For all residents of the Moscow region, we present the opportunity to find out the cost of drilling a well using an interactive map of the Moscow region. Find your locality on the map and click to find out the estimated cost of a well.

The final price depends on the drilling depth and complexity of the work.

At what depth is artesian water?

An artesian well is drilled tens of meters deep. In some areas of the Moscow region, from 50 to 80 m is enough to access the limestone aquifer, in others up to 100-150 m is required.

Geological features of the area

The location of aquifers in different areas differs significantly. It is simply impossible to choose the optimal location and depth of the well yourself, “by eye.” This task should be entrusted to specialists who have the necessary equipment, knowledge and experience. Surveyors will analyze the terrain, soil composition and determine the depth of water.

For watering, for swimming pool, for drinking

The purpose of the well determines how deep it will be. The quality of water directly depends on which layer of aquifer it comes from.

• Drilling “into sand” allows you to reach a shallow layer of water suitable for irrigation or technical needs. However, you can drink water from such a water carrier only after additional filtration. The well is relatively inexpensive and is shallow: from 10 m to 35 m.
• Deep drilling “for limestone” is required to obtain clean drinking water. Such a well requires appropriate permission and registration.

Bottom topography (location of holes and “cool” fishing spots) is a key factor influencing the success of fishing. It has more weight compared to the quality of gear, fishing technique, choice of bait, bait and even experience. Full equipment and expensive ammunition will do nothing when casting in a remote, poor place where there are no fish or little biting. A map of depths, holes and fishing spots provides knowledge of the topography of the bottom of reservoirs. The depth map visualizes the features of the underwater landscape and its key characteristics. The tool helps predict promising fishing zones that promise a significant catch, read the underwater landscape, and helps calculate depth change lines and potentially catchy points. A fishing map will be useful when fishing from the shore and from a boat.

The map functionality provides great information for any fishing method. The map is useful for fishermen, regardless of their experience, thanks to a large list of parameters necessary for successful fishing. The system is multi-level, based on Yandex.Maps information. The database includes a compilation of three cartographic resources, which guarantees the accuracy of the calculation results with small errors. The program displays depth indicators in navigable rivers, seas and oceans, calculates potential holes where bites are more frequent, and the fishing spots of all site participants. You can leave personal “beacons” from successful places where the catch was impressive, so that if necessary, you can return to a familiar point next time.

Displayed data: depths, holes (including Navionics data), fishing spots added by users, exact coordinates of the desired location. Fishermen have access to zoom and search options, select the desired map layer, and calculate the current location. Full screen mode introduced. The card interface is intuitive - the functionality is balanced, all the necessary buttons are at hand, nothing superfluous. It’s easy to use, regardless of fishing experience – the data on the depths of rivers and reservoirs is comprehensive.

Identification of holes, international depths and fishing spots. When you click on the corresponding buttons, you will see the holes recorded by the program that are available in the body of interest. Natural depressions from 3 m are displayed, the starting value depends on the bottom topography of a given river, sea, ocean and can be reduced. Please note: fishing holes are located outside the fairway area. The service does not determine the length, extent, direction of depressions and other additional characteristics of the landscape. Its functionality is focused solely on calculating the depths of a certain zone and their location. Using the presented platform, you can find out the data of rivers, oceans and seas of any region or region.

Visually visualizes the landscape, showing the user the latitude and longitude of the location/point he has specified. After clicking on the desired location, the program provides a detailed geographical summary. The function will help you plot a route even without geographical names; the coordinates calculated on a fishing map are enough. The location determination option is universal - the information can be used in an echo sounder, GPS device, navigator, chartplotter. The program helps you navigate the terrain thanks to a convenient zoom function and accurate calculation of distances between any number of points.

Residents of the Moscow region who are thinking about ordering a well for limestone are always interested in a map of the depths of artesian wells. This is natural, because the cost of a well directly depends on its depth. The more meters of soil the drill must overcome, the more expensive the well.

The cost of a linear meter at the Aqua-Parus-M company is from 1,900 rubles per linear meter. You can find out more in the “Drilling prices” section or by calling our numbers.

The average well depth parameters are indicated in our table of Moscow region districts. However, you cannot find out the exact drilling depth on your site by studying a table or map of the depths of artesian wells - only average indicators are given there.
For example, the table (and many maps existing on the Internet) indicates: to drill an artesian well in the Yegoryevsky region, you need to go 70-90 m deep. However, even across the region, the depth of the wells varies greatly. So, near Yegoryesk you can count on 80-90 meters, but in Kostylevo you may need to drill up to 130 meters.

Professional drillers use detailed maps, and you can find out about the expected depth of a well in your area after consulting with specialists and specifying the drilling location.

The depth of artesian waters in the Moscow region

Well depth in Moscow and Moscow region

Drilling water wells in the Moscow region is a great way to gain access to drinking water. It is almost impossible to drill a “dry” well here - drilling in Moscow and the region always turns out to be successful. Geologists have established: Moscow, Moscow region, Kalinin, Kaluga, Vladimir, Smolensk, Oryol, Ryazan, Yaroslavl, Tula regions are located above the Moscow artesian basin. According to geologists, the volume of groundwater accounts for about 40% of all water reserves in the Moscow basin. Moreover, the reserves do not dry out - approximately 15-20% of atmospheric precipitation replenishes aquifers. Huge underground reservoirs serve as an important source of water supply to the central part of the country. has long been popular here.

We advise you to do a water analysis a month after the completion of drilling water wells in Moscow (within expanded boundaries) and the launch of an autonomous water supply system - you will find out whether additional filters need to be installed or whether you can safely use the water without additional purification.
