Detailed Summary

Based on analysis of multiple representative well logs from the Holland, MI area, the most common stratigraphic sequence begins with a sand layer extending from the surface to roughly 6-8 meters. This is frequently followed by thin to moderate clay or sandy clay units, then alternating layers of sand and clay that extend to depths of about 80-100 feet, with sand forming the primary aquifer zone. The typical water table is shallow (5-20 ft below land surface), and residential wells targeting yields of 10-20 GPM are often screened in clean sand at 40-100 ft. Reliable, high-yielding wells are generally completed within sand units below any significant clay layers.
