And about fifteeen yards from my house is a 10 inch diameter, 900 foot deep well with static level six feet below the surface. Flow rate is over 200 gpm with a water temp of 85 degrees F. It would serve well to feed under floor heating coils in a house or shop, or as a source for a heat pump. Right beside it is a six inch well 150 feet deep with static level of forty feet. We punched it to get cool water to service the house. The pond is fed from ground water. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

This may be better than a bailer... https://www.gunslingerwellpumps.com/ You don't want to drop it down the well either, though. My water table is stupid high, had thought about putting in a windmill or solar pump for a water trough for the critters, and if needs be the house too. But I'm to cheap to spend the scratch and have someone punch another well. I have a big year round creek 100 yards or so on NF off my back corner and a pond with a "usually running" creek 20 yards from the house. First place I've ever had where water wasn't an issue. If I only had enough acres to graze some livestock I'd be happy lol. But unless I find something that can live on skunk cabbage I'm shcit outta luck MAGA

OP simonkenton7 Campfire Outfitter S Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 14,160 Marshall NC	Originally Posted by High_Noon I live in the unforgiving Chihuahuan Desert of W. TX. The Rio Grande is pretty much always dry, unless they decide to release water for irrigation. 2 of the 3 aquifers here are brackish - they mix it with water from the lone fresh water aquifer, so the water quality is crap here - it stinks and is foul - full of calcium carbonate and such. Unless I can get a dehumidifier or some such, I'm fūcked. Even if I do, it's extremely dry here, so I'm not sure how much water it would produce. I do have about 30 gallons of filtered water on hand, but that won't last long at all. I need to move, but my daughter is here. '' I have spent many hours in the Chihuahuan Desert, driving the big rig to El Paso. Probably went there 150 times. Went by El Capitan 15 or 20 times, just fantastic! A little bit out of route but I loved to see El Capitan. Beautiful to drive through with a good a/c. A far cry from the rainy mountains here in North Carolina. Not much water out there. Do you live in town? How do you get your water?

Yep. El Capitan is indeed cool. I been there many times and climbed it thrice. Fugged up my left knee coming down the last time and my knee's not been the same since.
