This graph shows the present level of water in our well, compared with the previous years' records.

A level of 40ft (the top of the graph) would indicate that the well is full to surface level. The highest level reached is usually about 8 ft below this.

The exact source of the well is unknown but it seems to be fed from groundwater which feeds down the hill from Nymans and the land towards Handcross. There are several springs nearby on a springline about 30ft below the level of the top of the well, so it seems logical that the well taps into this supply. It tastes okay.
