i have a feeling that getting decent water by a DIY method is very tricky and hit and miss.i recall seeing ads for home well drilling in the back of Pop whatever magazine's but never any feed back on how it worked out.my Leamans non electric catalog came the other day and i see lots of gear for driving a pipe so some places must have a water table that can be tapped.the only ones i have seen that worked were at summer cabins next to lakes.
