    New shallow well runs out of water

    The 1 hp pump is designed for 26' max lift and with the external piping to pump I'm within 7'' of max. The soil is sand to about 8' the 1' of clay then sand. What do you mean by: well needs to be developed to increase recovery? Should I increase casing size with a slotted casing? THANK YOU
