Instead of drilling a shallow well, a small forage pond might be a better option.
You could dig a deep pit in one of your lowest spots at the same time you have excavation equipment on location for your big pond. That would be a very small incremental cost.
If you get the pit 5-10' below the summer groundwater level, then you could have a ready water source for the big pond when needed. Further, it is cheaper (initial cost & electricity) to use a small centrifugal pump when lifting water only a few in elevation compared to a submersible well pump.
Good luck on your project! Thanks, good idea. I might burry a culvert oriented up and down in the pit, so when it fills in, the culvert will let me access water deeper down.
