Like in most wells, out of the ground ;)
I jest... but not really.
You'd be surprised just how accessible the water table is, depending on your region. If there are trees on your property, there's a reasonably good chance you're close enough to water to dig a well and get good throughput. If you're looking to buy property, look for properties that have trees that normally require a lot of water. Just by way of example, if there's a Willow tree(s) on the property, there's a good chance you've got water... and aspirin.
If your question was related to contaminants and so forth, obviously you have to be aware of where the water is flowing from upstream. If you're downstream of a high contamination zone, your only real choice is to move, sadly.
- bluGill 9y agoMy question was related to aquifer depletion. Some deserts have great soil, but there isn't enough water to grow anything, try to dig a well and the well will go dry. Contaminants are a valid question too though.
- balabaster 9y agoThis would definitely be another situation you'd need to consider relocation. In that situation, you'd need to find alternative measures to become more sustainable. Like living in the city, the measures you take would look significantly different than someone living in the green zone.
