Adding water to your well is not recommended. It could contaminate your supply, and will not alleviate your water shortage problems during drought conditions.
How fast does well water replenish?
Some shallow wells that are in a sand and gravel geological formation will recharge within 24 hours. Some that recharge by a nearby stream or river will also recharge quickly. However, some deep wells with a small and semi-impervious recharge area may take many months or years to fully recharge.
