I was just wondering about this as I see in old westerns these wells and wanted to know how far you have to dig to get to water and make a well.

Depends on the water table, if you dig in a dry riverbed you'll have to dig is far is if you're digging on a hill.

My well is 440 ft; down to water. Unfortunately, this area had a lot of new developement after my well was drilled and it went dry because the water fable at that depth is deleted. Have water delivered to a storage tank now.

It all depends. It could range anywhere from 10 feet to 10 miles. I think wells are about 20 to 150 feet deep in most cases.

I live about two block away from the beach and it is only about 4 feet down to get to water.

depends on where the water is you cant just dig and expect to find water

it depends on how near you are to a large water source.e.g- lake, ocean river, etc. If you are really close to one you wont have to dig as far down.

umm she could have been frozen in an icecube at the bottom of the ocean then discoverd years later while people are on a dive looking for lost parts and things that were on the titanic and they found her. then she could defrost and they realize that she was in some sort of coma but she didnt age. she wakes up not knowing anything about herself but her name (and how to speak). throughout the story she can learn aboout herself while trying to solve the 'real' reason the titanic crashed. this unfolds a huge crime covered up by the crashing of the titanic. throughout the book she can be threatend and she has to be like a spy (she could run away from the hospital that defrosted her) ummm hope you like it...it may not be your cup of tea but that is the type of books i like to read
