If you live in an area where you have frost it should be below the record frost depth, usually in the North it is a minimum of four feet. If you are running copper in the ground out west you can go substantially higher in the ground due to the lack of frost. I would recommend that you look at the building codes for your particular area as the requirements for each state and region can differ. Bed the pipe with sand below and above, 4-6 inches is a usually required above and below depending on ground conditions and relevant region of the country. You also want to make sure you are using the right grade of copper pipe made for direct burial.

How does water get into a well and how do you get water from a well?
Wells are naturally occuring and have natural spring water in them. In most wells the makers have dug deep into the ground and struck water. The water, in turn wells up (hence the term well) and fills the deep gap. To get water out of a well, first you need to construct a bucket lowering mechanism, lower the bucket, and pull it back up. There you have it.
Where should submersible pump be placed or installed in ground water well?
There are a few parts to an answer. How deep is the water in your well? Is there sludge or sediment at the bottom of the well? How deep is this and how much is clean water? How long is your pump? How long is the motor housing? I just placed a 70cm pump, motor 35cm, in 250cm if clean water. 20cm of sludge. The bottom the motor housing was placed about 40cm above the sludge which means there is about 75 cm of clean water below the water inlet and 175cm of water above the pump. It will take many years for the sludge to rise and even in low water periods I should stay in operation.

Why is there 2 foot X 2 foot whole and 1 foot deep hole in my basement floor with a sump pump in a basement?
In rainy weather, the water table rises and ground water can sometimes "perc" up thru the ground and into your basement.It would pump the water out before it gets high enough to cause damage in your basement.
