the well driller told my friend that his well was 200 feet deep and 175 static he was unable to get an answer from the unlearned person as to what the term "static" ment and why it was different than the actual drilled depth, I am sure that he didnt know. Can anyone clear this up for me.
Thank you: Michael

"The Pre-Pumping Static Level is the level to which water has stabilized in the well with no outside force acting upon it (the well is not pumping water). Subtracting the static water level from the total depth of the well results in the feet of water in the well."
So, I'm guessing...
200 feet deep - 175 static = 25 feet of water in the well
Check the source. It has a pretty good explanation, complete with diagrams. :]

it's the depth at which you get some water
But there are a few things you might want to know about wells first :
the depth of your well will change with time since water can transport dirt into your well or erode it. (usually, it brings stuff in, so your well fills up with dirt over time. But it's really slow, so you shouldn't notice it before you're quite old.)
Also, when you pump water from your well, it will take some time for the water to get back in, so when you pump water, the water level will fall a few meters.
hope this has helped
