Wells provide water for drinking, bathing, and cleaning to many people across the world. When wells are being dug, there are several issues that must be taken into account to minimize the chance of potential problems down the road. First, it's important to be aware that groundwater levels differ, depending on the season. In general, groundwater levels will be higher during the winter. So if a well is being dug during the winter, it should be deep enough to remain functional during the summer, when water levels are lower. Well water that is used is replaced by melting snow and rain. If the well owners are using the water faster than it can be replaced, however, the water levels will be lowered. The only way to remedy this, aside from waiting for the groundwater to be replenished naturally, is to deepen the well. From this passage, it can be concluded that- O it is better to have a well that is too deep than one that is too shallow. Most well owners will face significant water shortages every year O Most people who dig wells during the winter do not make them deep enough. O Well water is safe to use for bathing and cleaning, but is not suitable for drinking.
