Commonly Asked questions about water cisterns
When the rate of water withdrawal exceeds the natural replenishment rate, the water level in the aquifer drops. The empty aquifer is slowly compressed by the ground above, leading to a shrinking aquifer supplying a water well.
To prevent this, install pump protection and a timer on your existing well pump to slowly fill a water cistern. This will allow you to have a sufficient amount of water available during peak hours, and will greatly increase the lifespan of your water well.
