Water Wells - Any Green things I SHOULD KNOW??

We are in the process of choosing a site for our "greener" home, but one of the first issues is water.
In this case we need to drill a well.  The output is not optimistic in our area and may be a barrier.

We are working with a trusted company for our area and seem to be cost effective.

I'm just wondering when drilling a new well are there any green consdierations I should be making with the well; but also water use / distribution systems have come sharply into focus because of our potential shortage of clean drinkable water?

It's funny to have to consider a shortage of water but river systems are limited, expensive to use, and need heavy treatments due to upstream industrial activies.

Aquifers are only in certain areas, and some seem to have water that leaves stains and emits odours.

  1. Wow this water is sure holding us up. I hope our deadlines will not be completely missed. I guess we have more planning time!
