Hello, I have a well that I just dug. It is sandy soil (6 blocks away from a beach). I dug 10 foot down and hit very wet sand that when pulled out turns into a small pool of water. I then excavated another 10 feet of sand that turned into a pool of standing 10 foot of water.
Two questions
1. If i were to hook up a sprinkler pump and pull the water out of the well, does this mean I can only pump out 10 feet of water and then I have to wait for the excavated area to recharge with water? Or is there a possibility as I am pumping other water will pull into the well and keep feeding the pump?
2. This is the question I feel stupid asking. However, in theory if i would have kept digging is there some magical pool of water that is freestanding not in sand? Like a underground stream that I should have tried to reach? Or is that not common?
Thanks for the help.
