Founder Effect. The Founder Effect is defined as a type of bottleneck, a type of genetic drift describing the loss of the allelic variation that accompanies founding of a new population from a very small number of individuals (a small sample of a much larger source population).
For example, two well drilling companies -- one in Pennsylvania and one that covers New Hampshire, Vermont and central Massachusetts -- state the cost for drilling a well and outfitting it with pump equipment averages between $5,000 and $7,000, at the time of publication.
Our per-foot well drilling prices sometimes change due to the fluctuating cost of casing and other materials. Although it is impossible to know exactly how much a water well will cost, our average well in 2010 was about $3,500.00 - $3,800.00.Q:. How do you know where to drill?A: The first consideration in determining the location of the well is to maintain enough distance from the septic system to prevent contamination.
