Swedish term
(rör)spetsbrunn
Swedish to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Hello
I've really tried on this.
Once again no context but it's a kind of hollow rod driven into the ground through which water can then rise.
I wanted to say "pump well" but I'm not sure as I can't see any pumps in my searches for the Swedish term. I have the impression
I also wondered if it could be some kind of "fountain well"" but they seem to be more natural than the Swedish device.
Does anyone know please?
Thanks
