That's what I was thinking.... now, if the land is nearly flat and I
dig the well at say 6-12 inches deep and fill party with drainage
stone, where would I put the drain? I assume the bottom. The question
is.... where do I run the drainage pipe to? I don't think I have

the drainage for water coming in from above (rain) or below (seeping
up). If from above I could add a cover (clear).
