If george lilly begins to irrigate his farm and this significantly lowers the water elevation in his well, what could this mean about the groundwater flow of the surrounding area?

The groundwater flow could change, causing the well to go dry.
Because the majority of the groundwater will now go to George lilly's. This will definitely absorb the residual source of the water, causing the land nearby would not unable to find a water for their irrigation, (unless they dig in lower elevation than George's)
