@SustenanceNCovering Yep, I know there are people here that use a stream that runs out the side of a hill but it's super clean, There are wells all over the place here, almost no central water at all. so it's got to be pretty good if no one is sick. Most are over 500' here, but that's the business end of things, before that, they were only 25' If it was good back in the 1950's it's got to still be good today! My sons are going to help me with this one, so I'm off to gey parts. Love you guys!

@Sheila6325 75% of humanity drinks water from ditches, rivers streams ponds and wells that are less than 5 feet deep. Nearly all health problems associated with these water sources are civilization related. Toxic waste is one. Humans using streams and ponds as toilets is another. There are parasite problems associated with specific areas on the globe. None of them are in North America. The problem is that when SHTF people head for the nearest water source when they need to poop.

@SustenanceNCovering Oh Wow! then I may be able to keep it at a shorter distance than I thought. I must have missed the part where you said 5' is safe. I had read a lot about runoff of fertiliers lately, but I don't think there is much of that here anyway, but it had me worried for a while, looking at my area, we have a lot of unused land around us. They were old farms with empty fields. Now if I dig & water keeps coming up, then we have a problem. LOLOL no worry, boat renal is close. LOLOL

@Sheila6325 When I was little my grandfather put down a piece of 10ft iron pipe and hooked an electric pump on it. He watered his garden with that pump until the day that he died. I don't even know if he had a well point on the end of it. I stopped this well at 13' 6' below grade. I would have kept going if I had more sand but I hit clay. If you hit clay that is where you stop,.

@SustenanceNCovering I'm close to the water, and other than a few spots of clay, I have plenty of sand to work with. The water table is high here, so I think that my issues may actually turn out to be, that I would like to go down a bit lower than 10 ft. to get water. I'm in a low spot surrounded by farms, kinda like sitting in a bowl. Using the 20' x 3/4" is a great idea, and it will make it a lot easier to test the area first too! Thank you!
How do you replace the leathers?

@NoTraceSurvival That is covered in part 4. I think that the video is called shallow well pumps.

"If you don't want to survive...don't listen to me." Unfortunately, 99 percent of the population is not listening to you. They are dependent upon the system.

@johnny102marvin One day the networks will announce that there has been a glitch in societies infrastructure, but that the new democraticly elected emporer of the New World Order has a team of experts who assure us that everything will be taken care of. The next day people will wake up to a world of no food, no fuel, no water, and no nothing. Maybe that will be a good time to wake up and start listening.
