What happens when people use to much ground water?
Unless the ground water is recharged (from rain) the water table level will fall and the wells will need to be sunk deeper. The level of the ground may also sink slightly. Eventually the wells dry up and there is no more groundwater to extract.
Where do homes with wells get their water?
Depending on location, water underground can be is a layer that can be tapped anywhere in that area. Other places, it is in a stream, much as it is above ground. You dig a hole and go a little past the level of the water, install a casing or pipe for collection and a smaller pipe inside of it to pump out the water. Shallow wells have the pump above ground and deep wells have it at the bottom of the hole. It is easier to push water up from the bottom than it is to pull it up.
