How are the neighbors wells? Others in the county?
You mentioned the farm nearby being irrigated. If its a mile away, thats awefully far to reach your water table. I live 100ft from my neighbor. My well is 30ft deep, his is a 100, in order to reach water...
Good luck.

I most certainly can't replace mother nature's springs output (assuming they recover), and would only use a deep well/pump as needed when/if I see the largest pond's output cease. I'm just brainstorming here....
The USGS has no monitoring in that county, and due to "family considrations", I haven't divulged this to anyone except my closest neighbor (g-gf's well) this past week.
FWIW, the vineyard is next to a spring that was just a bit stronger than mine....used to be the "go to" spring for farmers 75 years ago during droughts according to my dad. That spring is totally dry too, and I can see the pipes leading up to the vineyard above it.
Keep the ideas coming guyt...appreciate it!
