It interesting that you ask. He told me he knew there was artesian flowing potential on the property and that is why he bought it. However he drilled one or two wells, if I remember right, and neither produced well. He's very scientific minded and was skepitcal of well deviniers, but he called one in and at least one of the spots the deviner pointed out hit pay dirt. Could have been a coincidence but he was starting to be more open minded.
I know of someone that has an artesian well of 3000 gpms here in Indiana. I'd kill for 100 gpms! I do have some potential within 5 to 20 miles of me. I may eventually purchase property there to raise my trout without pumping well water.
