So if I dig and dont hit sand, staying above the aquafier what then? I am only excavating approx. 6 feet lower the the top of the well. the rest will be built up. the well will actually be sitting on the slope as it sits. I understand what you are saying and it makes sense.

I just have to ask so I will know. When people are talking about digging wells to help fill thier pond they are some distance away from the pond then?

Still trying to figure it out.
