My brother had one dug just this month and he and to go almost 700' to hit the 2nd aquifer under him.
My granny had a shallow like 60' old school well. It was good water but it would silt up and go dry.
She had a new well dug but only went like 200' due to Poors and her water was sulpher and smelled like rotten eggs. I stopped drinking her coffee.
Mine is just shy of 300'. It was producing a little over 20 gpm when it was put in. Since it was dug, my neighbor put his in downgrade and about 250 yards from mine. I don't know how much impact he's having on the aquifer, or if its even on the same one. My parent's was a bored well 2' plus in diameter and less than 50 feet deep. I remember getting red stained water until we put in some berms to divert runoff, upgrade from it. North Carolina red clay was the source of the red. We never ran dry, but it would still get muddy at times.
