Talking I Got Water

I had my Water well drilled today. We hit water at 57 feet and then added one more casing so I now have a 80 foot well that is pumping 15 gallons per minute. the well driller had bid the site at 142 feet so I feel very good about this. I witched the site and found about 15 spots holding water, but this one was the strongest and in the right place away from septic and stuff like that.

sn-e3,
Was that done with a devining rod? How "well" does that really work?
15 GPM @ 57 feet is pretty good. In all seriousness though, will there be any effect in the dry season?

Steve I used brass welding rods first bent 90 deg. about 4 inchs from the end and then held loosely in your fist of 4 fingers don't use your thumb hold the rods about 6 inchs from each other pointing straight out from you and start walking they will cross when over water and when over heavy consintration they go oppisent at the handles. I also used a vine maple y branch last summer and it found water at the same place. And to answer your last question I don't think it will effect the well because of the drought. there are not enough people around me to pump the Auqifer dry

Is there any scientific explanation for divining ? Is water the only thing you can find like this ?
