Dug well or borehole?
A dug well is shallower and more sensitive to drought, while a borehole reaches deeper groundwater and withstands rainfall swings better. A borehole comes with a yield and water quality documented by a hydrogeological survey — a key document when buying land.
Why water on the plot is a bonus
In parts of the Beskydy, dry years bring water shortages and a mains connection may not be a given. Your own water source means independence, the ability to irrigate a garden and a backup to mains water. In a new build it also suits a heat pump and irrigation.
Water at the Vidíkov plot
In the Janovice area, a hydrogeological survey confirmed groundwater at 12 metres across the whole locality. The plot has both a mains water connection and its own borehole — a combination you can use for the house, garden and pool.
What to watch out for
Verify the source's yield, water quality and any permits. For a borehole, a hydrogeological report with depth and output is worth having; for mains water, the capacity and connection conditions. Only these facts together show whether water on a plot is a real advantage.
