Interestingly I just talked to my trout supplier in Michigan and one of his wells is up 2 feet! He's close to Lake Michigan and from what I hear those close to the lake are tied into the lake level which is up. Apparently ample rain farther north and good rain before the drought have brought the lake level up.
The only downside to being in an aquifer that is tied into the lake is nitrogen gas levels rise with increased lake levels. However it is something one can deal with by blowing off the gas.
