No farms, no food.

Would you shit upstream from your camp? Time is a stream.

What part? It is is a very simple statement. I am just pointing out that poisoning soil is like ruining the future.

It is a statement which appears not responsive to anything I posted.

I was trying to just say the same thing as you but in a way that is less... Ambiguous as to the reasoning

More than that, there’s no water to farm in North Yarmouth. I come from well drilling and a lot of north Yarmouth is bone dry unless you spend north of $25k on a well. And that’s just for domestic use…

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.
