How to Calculate Well Depth

What is Well Depth?

A well depth and yield calculator estimates the water well depth needed to reach an aquifer and the expected gallons-per-minute yield for a given location. Residential wells range from 50 to 500+ feet; a yield of 5 GPM or more is typically adequate for a single-family home.
