The average well in the study area was assumed to be adequate <br />to provide a full water supply for 80 acres. Each well, pump and motor <br />unit was estimated to cost $15,000. Annual operating costs are estimated <br /> <br />to be $930 per well, which includes 21,200 kWh of energy annually. The <br /> <br />additional investment per farm budget was $56,250 and $3,490 in.annual <br /> <br />costs. <br />
