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.

How can thunderstorms affect the water table?
Rainwater from thunderstorms can make its way underground and raise the water table.
Why do wells have to be built below the water table?
If the bottom of a well is above the water table, the well would be dry.
Where can people obtain groundwater by drilling a well A below the water table B above the water table C beside a water table?
above the water table
What is the lowered surface in the water table around the well called What has caused the lowering of the surface of the water table around the well What will make in larger or smaller?
The lowered surface in the water table around a well is called a cone of depression. It is caused by the pumping of water from the well, which creates a temporary lowering of the water table in that specific area. The cone of depression will become larger if there is excessive pumping from the well or if the water table is already low, and will become smaller if pumping is reduced or if the water table is replenished through natural recharge.
What is therelationship between a water table and a well?
The water table is the level below the ground where all spaces are filled with water. Wells are structures dug or drilled into the ground to access the water below the water table. The depth of a well is determined by the distance between the water table and the surface.
What is the relationship between the depth to the water table and the depth that a well must be drilled?
The depth to the water table is the distance from the ground surface to the top of the saturated zone. The depth of a well must be drilled below the water table to ensure water can be extracted. The well should be drilled deep enough to reach the water-bearing aquifer but not so deep that it goes below the water table.
Is well water a type of surface water?
Well water is by definition from an underground aquifer, or water table.
Why does a well have to be dug deeper than the water table?
A well must be dug deeper than the water table to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of water, especially during dry seasons. By going past the water table, the well can tap into a more stable source of groundwater that is less susceptible to fluctuations in the water table level.

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.
What is the relationship between the depth of the water table and the depth that a well must be drilled?
The depth of the water table refers to the level below the ground surface at which the soil and rock are fully saturated with water. The depth at which a well must be drilled depends on the depth of the water table because a well must reach below the water table to access groundwater. Therefore, if the water table is shallow, the well does not need to be drilled as deep, whereas a deeper water table requires a deeper well to reach the groundwater.
Is Groundwater often obtained by drilling a well to reach below the water table?
above the water table
