"deep" is a relative term. In some areas of the world water wells are drilled to over 3,000 feet down. However in many places water can be found between 40-100 feet. In my area of western Canada most groundwater is found between 25 and 250 feet. Not many wells are over 250 feet deep, but there are some down as far as 800 feet. It needs a very powerful and expensive submersible pump to bring this water to the surface.

What are the two types of groundwater?
The two types of groundwater are shallow groundwater and deep groundwater. Shallow groundwater is found closer to the surface, typically within the first few hundred feet of the Earth's surface. Deep groundwater is located deeper underground, often thousands of feet below the surface.
Is Groundwater is not affected by pollution because it is deep underground?
false
Why is the pH of shallow groundwater less than that of deep groundwater?
More dissolved solids accumulated in deep ground water and perciatation makes shallow ground more acidic.
What device do humans use to groundwater into a home?
HANDPUMP
Can humans use groundwater?
Yes, humans can use groundwater for various purposes such as drinking, agriculture, and industry. However, over-extraction of groundwater can lead to depletion of aquifers and other environmental issues. Sustainable management practices are important to ensure the long-term availability of groundwater resources.
Groundwater is not affected by pollution because it is deep underground?
false
What is the fresh water found in soil and rock layers below earth surface called?
it is called groundwater
How deep does ground water go?
Groundwater depths can vary greatly depending on location, geology, and other factors. In some areas, groundwater can be as shallow as a few feet below the surface, while in other regions it can be hundreds or even thousands of feet deep. In general, the depth of groundwater tends to increase with distance from a water source or recharge area.
What is the percentage of ground water available?
58% of water is available in a current state.
What determines the amount of groundwater available in an area?
The amount of groundwater available in an area is determined by factors such as precipitation, geology, vegetation cover, and human water usage. Rainfall and snowmelt recharge the aquifers, while the permeability of rocks and soil influences how much water can be stored underground. Vegetation plays a role in water uptake and evapotranspiration rates, which can affect groundwater levels. Over-extraction of groundwater by human activities can also deplete available water resources in an area.
How do we get groundwater?
Groundwater is obtained by drilling deep wells into underground aquifers, which are layers of permeable rock or sediment that can store and transmit water. Once a well is drilled into the aquifer, water is pumped to the surface for use.
What is a well drilled deep enough to tap a porous material filled with groundwater?
I think you refer to an Artesian well.
