Wells can be up to 200m deep. Aquifers are usually level, but the land above them might not be. So burying something 1k deep can leak into an aquifer that is drilled into elsewhere or even a high-table aquifer that drains into surface water downhill.
- himinlomax 7y agoYou will obviously notice any aquifer while drilling on the way down. And there may indeed well be water very deep down. But from what I understand, they are not connected with more surface level, and any diffusion of material takes a very long time. Keep in mind the pressure at those depths. Water is obviously lighter than rock, and if it had a way to go up, it would have.
