Short answer
Gökkaya Hafriyat digs wells in Famagusta (Gazimağusa) and İskele, North Cyprus. The position, depth and construction of a well are planned around its purpose, the plot’s ground conditions and the requirements of the relevant authority.
What should you know before digging a well?
- What the well is for: water, soakaway or drainage
- Whether a machine can reach the plot
- Whether a septic tank, sewer or underground line is nearby
- Whether groundwater levels in the area are known
- Whether a permit is required from the relevant authority
How is the position of a well chosen?
Water wells should be planned away from pollution sources such as septic tanks and sewers. Required distances and rules should be confirmed with local authorities.
What about plots near the coast?
Groundwater on plots near the Famagusta and İskele coast can be shallow or saline. If you plan to use it for drinking or irrigation, check the water quality with a laboratory analysis.

Frequently asked questions

- It may be, depending on the type and location of the well. Check current requirements with the relevant public authority and municipality before digging.
- Can water be guaranteed?
- No. The presence, level and quality of groundwater vary by plot. Information from existing wells nearby and technical surveys is useful.
- How deep will the well be?
- Depth depends on the purpose, the ground and the groundwater level. It would be wrong to give one figure without plot details.
