We now have 5 wells that have both wind pumping and solar powered pumping on the ranch. However 1 well at 222 feet deep the solar hasn't been used for several years because the solar will pump it dry and then the only option is to wait a few hours for the casing to refill. When only the wind is used the well does not pump dry, but it can only support 45 pairs and it is needed to support 100 pairs. Under the premise that if we went deeper a better aquifer would be found it was decided to drill a new hole. However, after drilling to 360 feet with no better water source being found we gave up and filled in the new hole. Now we go with plan B.
