Why is it important to the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well?

It's important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well because if you drilled 35ft but there was a remaining of about 5-10 more feet you wouldn't really get all the water from the aquifer, and you'd run out of water in an amount of time.
