Summary: If you depend on well water, you cannot afford to let your well run dry. The best way to avoid a dry well is to ensure that you drill deep into an aquifer the first time.
Many people who live beyond the big city limits rely on well water to provide them and their family with fresh, safe water to drink. In a developed country, it can be easy to fall into the habit of taking water for granted, but have you ever stopped to think about what might happen if your well runs dry?
Can Your Well Run Out of Water?
If your well has been correctly drilled, it can last your family a lifetime, but it is possible for a well to run dry. This often happens with wells that are too shallow. If a well is not drilled deep enough, it may only be a water table well. These wells are influenced greatly by the amount of rain that falls, as these shallow water tables are dependent upon rain to replace what water has been depleted. If there is a period of drought in your area, you will run the risk of running out of water.
One of the best ways to combat a dry well is to drill deeper in an attempt to locate a more stable source of water. By doing so, water well drillers are looking for an aquifer that will not be as easily affected by a lack of rainfall.
However, you can simply avoid all of this hassle by ensuring that you drill a deep well to begin with! By calling a water finding company, instead of depending on a shallow water table well that could run dry any time it fails to rain, you can enjoy a steady stream of water from a deep well.
How Do Water Finding Companies Make a Difference?
Water finding companies, like American Water Surveyors, are able to measure groundwater depths and yields from the surface, before locating the perfect spot to dig. In contrast, water well drillers often get paid by the foot as they dig, regardless of whether or not they hit water. Water finding companies don’t only look for sources of water – they look for the best sources. American Water Surveyors uses the latest in technology to assist farmers, municipalities, developers, and homeowners alike find the best water sources on their properties. By doing so, you will feel assured that your water source will last for years to come, even during a dry season. A deep well in a confined aquifer has a much better chance of containing water during a dry spell than a water table well ever could.
