>a lot of north Yarmouth is bone dry
You've got 2 brooks merging with the Royal River in North Yarmouth. Last time I was near Runaround Pond, it was not dry so Chandler Brook cannot be dry. Same with the river coming from New Gloucester. Not dry at Cunningham's in the Intervale.

That’s not how artisan wells work. And drawing from running waterways for domestic and agriculture use is not legal.
Check out the states waterwell mgs database online if you want to check whether it’s comparatively “dry” or not.

North Yarmouth has no true artesian wells. As Mr. Ryerson told us all those years ago: a pumped well is not artesian.
Nevertheless, a working streambed and soggy areas suggest the water table is relatively high. I highly doubt North Yarmouth is "bone dry" as you claim.

Ok. You can still look up the well database on Maine.gov if you don’t want to take a licensed professional’s opinion.
