I didn't quite understand the last couple of posts but they were something to do with water wells. Fine, a well is a great solution in many areas, particularly in the areas which will suffer damage in earthquakes. Those of us/you who are founded on good rock would in most cases be wasting time and money drilling. A good guide is "Did the ancients have wells here?"
Now, we have to look at the pollution of ground water. The old Kaya water sauce was from a natural spring in Hisaronu. That has long since been poisoned by discharge from tourist hotels. The ground water in the valley is still potable, but given no proper sewage disposal we will pretty soon have polluted ground water at 80 meters and more. Look at the problem globally and you may agree that "water wars" may be a thing of the future.
