Create a Well

The term well refers to all water sources that are used for irrigation.

Managing one or more wells is particularly useful if you need to keep track of the quantities of water withdrawn. 

What do I need to do?

1. In the raindancer portal at the top click on Wells → Wells
2. Click on the "New Well" button
3. Assign a Name
4. Set latitude/longitude.
   Note: If you are using the map to set latitude/longitude, 
   please do not close the window with the x-symbol, as this would close the complete
   setup for create/edit the well and all your entries will be lost.
5. Select the volume or operating time for billing type
6. OPTIONAL Select a team if this option has been purchased
7. Click on "Save".

Latitude / Longitude

Specify where the well is located. You can enter the coordinates manually. Otherwise, you can also use the map tool, which you can access by clicking on the "Map" button.

Accounting type

Here you specify the billing type for the well. You can choose between cubic metres (m³) and hours (h).
