Why the Northwest Shops BiâMart? We've been a part of the Northwest for over 60 years. That's a long time, but then, saving money never really gets old, does it? Our members shop at Bi-Mart because our stores are convenient, easy to shop and offer real values every day on name brand products.
A well is the most common way to obtain groundwater for household use. A well is basically a hole in the ground, held open by a pipe (or casing) that extends to an aquifer. A pump draws water from the aquifer for distribution through the plumbing system.
When it hits bottom, draw it back up and see how much of the string is wet. You want the well driven into the water table far enough that the entire well screen is in the water. While a driven well may not produce as much water as a drilled well, it should be able to produce five gallons per minute of water flow.
