Farmer Brown lives in a semi-arid part of the United States with numerous small lakes associated with glacial deposits of sand and gravel. He decides he needs to irrigate part of his land and drills a shallow well 100m from his property line with Farmer Smith who has a small lake just across the property line, and he depends on this lake to water his cattle. By late summer, Farmer Smith goes out to his lake and discovers it is dry. What happened

D.Farmer Browns well has dropped the water table in the well's cone of depression, and the well has led to the lake drying up.

Explanation:

When wells a dug, they exert pressure on the surrounding water bodies, causing water to be pooled from these water bodies to fill the well. This is because as the well hits the aquifer, the surrounding water table drops in an attempt to fill the well.

they were destroyed coming out of the civil war but after he war they were booming. if you need an in-depth answer follow up with me
