When people are talking about digging wells to help fill thier pond they are some distance away from the pond then?
Eric,
Yes, either some distance away, or significantly deeper than the pond. Being hand-dug wells, they are probably not very deep. That indicates the aquifer is fairly shallow.
Perhaps you could dig a test hole or 2. If you don't run into sand or gravel, you may be in luck.
