Interesting Westwall. I am sure no expert on this stuff. Are you a geologist?
Aquifers are simply mysterious sources of water to me though I am generally intrigued by all Earth sciences. I do know that the huge Ogallala Aquifer in the US is slowly being depleted which does raise the question about water source will eventually be used to replace it. The Estancia Valley beginning about 35 miles east of Albuquerque sits on top of a vast underground lake. When settlers first started using that water, a windmill would pump now. Now they have to go deeper and use mechanical pumps so presumably that water source will run out eventually too.
But conversely, even though we were in prolonged drought, our pump in our well in the east mountains in the 1990's was deep (almost 400 feet) and we had it tested each year for pollutants and also for the water level. Each of the 14 years we were out there, the well actually gained a few inches, and there were a lot of us using that aquifer. So go figure.
Interesting aquifer you have there.

Title: Pumping test interpretations in the Estancia Valley, Torrance County, New Mexico
Authors: Guerra, Ruben M.
Issue Date: 17-Aug-2009
Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of six pumping tests per formed on five wells in the Estancia Valley, Torrance County, New Mexico. Well driller's logs and geophysical well logs were used in the interpretation. Two aquifer systems separated by a non-uniform clay bed, were identified. The aquifers appear to be partially confined, however enough data were not available to confirm this conclusion. Three wells are partially penetrating in the deeper aquifer and two partially penetrated only the shallow aquifer. For the shallow aquifer values of transmissivity of 12,000 gal./day/ft. and storativity of 1.36 x 10-4 were computed. As for the deep aquifer system, a transmissivity value of 6,000 gal./day/ft. was obtained taking into account well development and sanding up that took place during the pumping tests.

Except that you drew an erroneous conclusion--you do that a lot don't you? Our well was in neither the Estancia Valley nor Torrance County.
