Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Artesian well digging?

To play Devil's Advocate on something that Steve Young at least should understand - when do you reach diminishing returns on drilling additional artesian wells? If there's only one pressurized aquifer being tapped, wouldn't you (possibly) have a situation where one 6" hole 30 feet deep would produce, say, 20 gpm, but adding a second 6" hole 30 feet deep only gives you a total of 35 gpm?

I would imagine that this effect (and whether or not it could even be noticed) would vary greatly depending on the nature of the aquifer (how much water was available and at what pressure) as well as how close together the wells were.
