How long does it take to fill up your well once it has gone dry?
As long as it takes for the aquifer to recharge. The well will not be supplied with water until the water table rises again, since the well forms a cone of depression in the aquifer. (Think about drinking maple syrup through a coffee stirrer). That could be as long as, say, until the cows come home.
What causes well water to over flow?
Some environmental agent as to increase the underground aquifer level. Maybe too much rain.
Can heavy rainfall cause the soil on the side of a hill to suddenly slip to the bottom of the hill as a landslide caused by erosion?
Yes. Just like a snow avalanche, mud slides are layers of land that release from being too saturated with rainwater, and flow down a hill.
How often do water wells dry up?
They are supposed to be dug deep enough to supply a constant source of water. however they will dry up if the water table falls below the depth of the well. This can happen if water is sucked form the well too fast (draw-down issue), if there is a prolonged regional drought (catchment/replenishment issue) and if too many wells are dug into the aquifer (over extraction issue).
Where does rainwater come from?
The Sun's heat causes water to evaporate (dissolve) into the air (you can see this happen when your Mum hangs the washing out to dry). The wind then moves this 'wet' air up into the sky where it cools and the dissolved water comes out of the air (you can see this happen withe the steam that forms on the mirror when you take a bath or shower) - this forms the clouds you can see in the sky. When enough water comes together in the clouds, it gets too heavy to stay up and falls back to the ground as rain.
What are some harmful effects of aquifer depletion?
The aquifer cannot be recharged fast enough

What is the largest aquifer in new jersey?
The Kirkwood-Cohansey water-table aquifer. 15-20% of it is overlaid by the Pinelands, and it covers about 3000 sq. miles throughout almost all of the NJ Coastal Plain. I was really curious about this too--if you want more info about it, just search for the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer in NJ!
