Dear Mr. Odongo,
of course, it can. Depending on the geological formation and groundwater reservoir. With artificial groundwater recharge for example. We did many of those special, nearly maintenance free handled water wells. For those, you get rid of evaporation gradients and control quantity and quality of your water. We did some of those projects in Mauritania and Mali for agricultural drop irrigation and rural water supply (solar pumps)...
But please, attention, an infiltration well has different hydraulics and should be designed conform to different parameters, then correct designed water wells (the ration drill diameter to filter screen, gravel pack and a maintenance/ treatment capabilities etc. are mandatory. You can waste a huge bound of money if the wrong laptop-engineers are dealing with. Further questions are appreciated.
