Hello all – I just found this forum and appreciate the wealth of information on many topics I know very little of.. Here is my story, I live in southern California and decided to drill well for several reasons. My main reason thou, is the love of my small Avocado grove. I am afraid the costs of public water soon will prevent me from keeping this 3 year old grove. So the drilling is in progress and current depth is 500’ and flow is about 6 to 7 GPM. The water level in the boring was measured at 17’ below ground surface which will result in approx 650 gal of storage capacity.
My questions are should I pay extra and drill down an additional 100’ to further increase water flow? Or with current flow should I add a 3000 Gal storage tank or multiple 100 gal pressure tanks one for my grove and one for home usage?
I am reading some great past discussions which are answering and providing me great information. It’s possible I may have the answers for these questions on my own but awesome to get others opinion.
I am seriously very new to well operations but plan on being educated very soon. I jumped into this with one eye closed and hoping to get it opened fast.
Thanks in advance!
