As water from various underground water veins finds its way into a well, it starts filling the well up until it reaches a point at which it stabilizes and the water level will not go any higher or lower (unless water is pumped out too fast or a drought or change in the strata of the plates in your area makes other demands on the underground water supply). This point is known as the "static water level." One simplistic method to find the depth of your static water level is to tie a small piece of wood that has some weight to a long string. This piece of wood is then dropped into the well. Then the string is pulled lightly until tension is felt and the line is tight. Then pull the string out and measure it. This measurement is your approximate static water level.
