Hi Ethan. Welcome to permies.

Gold indeed! It looks like everything you need to know about siting and building a well. Thank you Ethan.
I must see if it will help me with reinstating our spring.....

What a great thing to find and share! Thank you!  I just downloaded it and gave it a peek; not sure if I will actually do it but I'll be reading it for fun, to start.

See, this is the problem with me in social situations. A couple people start talking about books they've read and when they ask me what I like to read.... uh.... "Well, I recently got excited to stumble upon the Peace Corp book on how to dig wells in rural areas. " ..."hmm... so no James Patterson,..." "As for fiction I've read a lot of the Little House Books but not in order-- uh... I'm going to get another drink, want anything?"

Oooh! For the Permie Eco-Scale, we could add what kinds of things people read!
