Start Date: 8/5/2024 -  
Wells were going dry in the Wichita area, and more people were contacting well drillers, asking them to drill deeper to reach water. The drought was making it more difficult to drill due to cracks in the ground that may extend down 20 to 30 feet. The ground was also very hard, making it harder to begin drilling.
