Aug 26, 2022Drilling. Drilling a well is more than boring a hole into the earth. A finished well will consist of a borehole cut into the aquifer at a diameter large enough to accept the well casing (see Fig. 1) which will receive the pump. The decision on how large the pump must be to meet your intended demand must, therefore, be made before drilling starts.

Aquifers — Safe Drinking Water Foundation
Jan 19, 2017Pumping too much water too fast draws down the water in the aquifer and eventually causes a well to yield less and less water and even run dry. In fact, pumping your well too fast can even cause your neighbour's well to run dry if you both are pumping from the same aquifer. Water levels in most aquifers vary with the season and during droughts.
