My Son in Law owns a well drilling business. And they have a small pond on the property, 1/4 acre maybe.
For S & G he decided to punch an 8 inch well near the pond. They went to 900 feet, hoping to get artesian flow. The static level came out at minus 18 feet. But it will pump at least forty gallon/minute with zero draw down for days on end.
A year later he and our daughter decided Mom and Dad needed a retirement home where we did not have to care for 20 acres with a dozen cows and horses. So they put in a new 2000 sq foot home beside the pond, and hooked it to that existing well.
Heck we could have run copper lines through the floor or ceiling and heated the whole house. The water came out of the tap at 85 degrees.
A week later I came past the new house, and there was a new well ten feet from the first one, Forty feet deep, and 40-50 degree water.
