I live about a half mile from the Chama river, and I drilled my well during a prolonged dry spell, making sure it went 15 additional feet after hitting water. So far it hasn’t gone dry, but I keep my fingers crossed. Water shouldn’t be a problem during the coming dystopia.
My well is good too, but at about 300’, there aren’t any manual pumps that can pull up the juice. And a generator big enough is gonna draw folks like flies with the noise.
