Get the guy with the dynamite back to your well to drop two sticks
next time. You will have twice as much water.


I get the impression that blasting the bottom of the hole is not a standard
practice? I wonder if he did this because he hit rock and could not get
through? We are on an old river bottom, and if you go down deep enough you
hit river bed rock, and lots of it.


How about rigging up to clean out your well or drill another well
nearby? Here are some instructions you can order off ebay:

It sounds silly, but lots of people have done it.
