The simpler and more likely explanation is that you have a clay or otherwise mostly impermeable substrate.
- chrisBob 4y agoIn fact you SHOULD have a layer of clay between the surface and the ground water you are drinking. You don't want a fast path between surface contamination and your well water.
- bluGill 4y agoYou want a compromise. You need water to get to the well somehow. It needs to get there fast enough to replace what you use, but not so fast that it isn't filtered first.
