No local well drillers around can give any info on what to expect on depths for these types of wells.
ARCGIS has some interesting online maps, and their maps for "Water Table Depth - Annual - Minimum" suggest that my water table is approx 100cm below earth's surface. I dont see how this is possible. In fact I think their maps are completely flawed - lots of central alabama is listed as water table from 0 - 25cm deep.
Are there any other sources I can go to in order to see if a sandpoint is appropriate for my area? I have nice prairie soil, shouldnt be too hard to dig at all. Should I just go down to 25ft and if it produces nothing just write it off?
Im in central Alabama, in a town particularly proud of its wells, (but not sure if they are aquifiers or shallows) at that.
