Robert Pelikan recaps the special considerations necessary to make stingy wells work satisfactorily.
Others are not so lucky. Their wells may produce plenty of water in the wet season but slow down during the dry season to where the pumping level drops to the inlet of the pump. Still others may have slow-producing wells that only yield a few gallons per minute, making it necessary to turn the pump off when the well draws down, leave it off long enough for the well to recover and turn it back on again once it has recovered.
