Dear forum community,

During our garden planning, we came across our soil report and the information regarding the water conditions. If we understand the report correctly, there is already groundwater at a depth of 1.9 m (6.2 ft)?
Does this mean that a standard plastic round tank could potentially float?
Am I interpreting the report correctly?

Thank you very much for your assessment.

Groundwater conditions: HGW 0.5 m, MHGW 1.5 m below surface; possibility of perched water.

And how is groundwater extraction rationed or controlled? A tank also costs money, and 5m3 (5,300 gallons) is quite small. I would prefer a well with a pump (and possibly a second one 😉 ).
