Just a simple matter-of–fact it may easily sound
That a well pump draws water out of the ground
But humans thrive in many ways
Because the pump works and plays.
The aquifer gives up water readily
When the pump is in action steadily
The water table falls as a cone of depression
While the activity of the pump is in session.
Aquifers and pumps should be a bipartite
To see that humans get ground water just right
Enough water to supply the needy
And not too much to bring out the greedy.
