Shallow well jet pumps are widely used in the United States - for a variety of reasons. Most of the time they are used on a well that can vary in size from as small as 1-inch diameter to large diameter augured wells. I've also seen them used on dug wells and for small irrigation systems pulling out of a lake, canal or pond. Another use is for boosting pressure on domestic water systems.
