I’ve lived with well water. You must filter it and test it regularly because it changes. It can also go dry.
Edit:
The article is also claiming humid areas are good for evaporative cooling, which is incorrect.
Also that above ground runoff is affecting a well is hard to believe. Wells are deep enough that natural filtration removes any sediment.
The whole article is questionable.
I have to filter the local water too because it's very hard and tastes like crap. Hilariously the filter will eventually start to grow algae
algae isn't about water quality, but sun. You either don't change your filter frequently or your place has a nice exposure to sun (or both, of course)
