How do you know if you have a deep or shallow well?

To determine if you have a deep or shallow well, consider the depth of the water source. Shallow wells typically reach depths of 25 to 50 feet, accessing groundwater from aquifers near the surface, while deep wells go beyond 50 feet, tapping into lower aquifers. Additionally, you can assess the water table level and the well's construction, as deeper wells often require specialized drilling techniques. If you're unsure, consulting a well professional can provide clarity.
