What is the Well Design Toolkit?
The Well Design Toolkit (v1.2.2) consists of over 30 Microsoft Excel® worksheets containing most of the calculations and supporting charts and tables used in the design of a water well (borehole). Drop-down menus allow you to choose metric (SI) or US units, different currencies ($, £, Euro), different casing or screen materials, etc.

The worksheets can be used in combination to help design a well, estimate its capital and operating costs and prepare a Bill of Quantities for its construction. Alternatively, you could simply use one or more of the worksheets to carry out particular calculations. This is why it is called a 'toolkit' since the user is not constrained to some pre-set, and perhaps, inappropriate well design procedure. The WDT can be purchased as a .EXE file.

What is the Well Design Guide?
The Well Design Guide is intended to complement the Well Design Toolkit by assisting the user to select the appropriate well design criteria for the site conditions. It includes over 70 pages of technical information including an extensive list of further sources of information on well design. Available as a PDF e-book.

What does the Well Design Toolkit include?
A list and brief description of the Well Design Toolkit contents can be found here.

What does the Well Design Guide include?
Information on the Well Design Guide can be found here.

Can I adapt the worksheets to my own requirements?
The WDT is a  protected .EXE file that can only be used on your computer. This means that only the data input cells and drop-down menus are unlocked. Consequently you cannot modify the structure.
However, suggestions for additional workbooks or worksheets are welcome so that I can extend the capabilities of the WDT to benefit the groundwater community. New worksheets and updates will posted on this site.

Is there a free trial or any discounts for multiple users?
A free trial is not available as this could be used for commercial purposes.
If you wish to purchase multiple copies please contact me to discuss your requirements. Please note that the WDT will only work on the computer to which it is downloaded so each user will need to download and register their own copy.

What level of support is offered?
One months technical support from the date of purchase.

How do I obtain the registration key for my Well Design Toolkit?
Please follow the instructions below.

Registering your .EXE file(s)

Step 1. Extract the .EXE file(s) from the zipped folder and Run the file. You will then see a message window with your computer ID number.

Step 2. Copy and paste your computer ID from the message window into the 'Question/Comment' part of the form on the Contact page, add your name, e-mail address and the subject line 'Licence key request' and then submit the form.

Step 3. An e-mail will then be sent back to you from Well Systems Design containing your registration key.

Step 4. Copy the registration key from the return e-mail into the opening menu. This will activate the file.

Please remember to back-up your purchased file(s)!

What is the Well Design Guide Activation Key?
To activate your full version of the Well Design Guide you will be sent an activation key with instructions by e-mail after the purchase is confirmed. Once the key is activated it will show the full version of WDG for that computer alone.

You can de-activate the e-book in order to transfer it to another computer but it can only be activated on one computer at a time. If you copy the e-book onto another computer you will only see the sample e-book but be given the option to purchase an activation key for that computer.
