Open wells and shallow aquifers have provided fresh water for drinking for centuries. Any activity that decreases quantity and quality is immediately reflected in the open well or shallow aquifer. The water levels drop, or they have bacteria, iron, nitrates, depending on how humans behave with the catchments, the recharge zones, and the groundwater exploitation. Wells are indicators as much as providers of water. Understanding and embedding in modern water and land use demand situations will be a challenge.
