The best way would be to find a spot with very sandy soil so that water can percolate easily from the surface down into the aquifer. Then build a big pond over that spot. Keep the pond filled with water from rainwater or from a river or stream. As lots of water goes down into the aquifer from your pond, the water table in your well should rise.

Ive been collecting rainwater and would like to know if I can use a old well to store it in. If I pipe in the water will the water fall to the current level or will it raise and hold the water?

A:The level of water in the well will be the level of the water table in the surrounding earth. If you pour your rainwater into the well most of it will seep into the earth around. The level in the well will only rise very slightly. Put the water in something it can't get out of.

"Water table" means the level of water underground. So when you dig a well, you have to dig down at least to that level.
