Answer 2

The water table is deeper than the well.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most likely reason why the farmer could not find any water is that the water table is deeper than the well.

Water table is a zone in the subsurface below which water fills pore spaces in the soil or rock.

• Above the water table is the zone of aeration.
• Below this zone, water is found in the pore spaces.
• To source for ground water, wells must intersect the water table for them to be a prolific source of water.
