In Figure 3.32, two wells were drilled down to the same level. Why was one successful and the other not?
What will be an ideal response?
The successful well has penetrated the perched aquifer in this figure. The unsuccessful well is at the same depth, but not within the range of the perched aquifer. Because the perched aquifer is so much higher than the water table, the unsuccessful well would have to be drilled almost twice as deep to reach groundwater.
