We had a water problem at our place where the horses are, knowing the water table and or springs in the shale, was not that deep, due to the geological structure under the ground, we set a round pre-cast concrete basin, I'd have to look at the photos, but I think it was 3 sections deep, 2 were perforated, like a drywell, the bottom solid, I wrapped the perforated sections with filter fabric, then backfilled with crushed stone, clean potable water drains into the bottom section, where I have a screened inlet, I ran black polyethylene water pipe to the barn a few hundred feet away, where the pump is, and it's worked great for a reliable water source. The were pumping out of the pond before that, not so good water.
