West Texas is a region in Texas that has more in common geographically with the Southwestern United States than it does with the rest of the state.. This part of Texas is in the Northern Chihuahuan Desert and the high mountain areas have a climate of cold nights and warm afternoons in winter; hot days and cool nights in the summer.

Population

Texas population density (2000 census)

West Texas has a much lower population density than the rest of the state. It was once mostly inhabited by nomadic Native American tribes such as the Apache, Comanche, and Kiowa until after the Civil War. It does not have as many ties to other parts of the Southern United States as does East Texas, although many of the people who currently populate West Texas are also migrants from other parts of Texas and other Southern states or their descendants. There is a very large Hispanic population, especially near the Rio Grande. Many Mexicans fled Ojinaga and walked to Stonewall during the Mexican revolution in the early days of the 20th century. Many Mexican-Americans still have close family ties in Mexico.

What type of pump is good for a water well that supports a business in west Texas.?
Q. I plan to build a business on my land and need a well. The depth is probably 400 feet. Not sure about gallons used but it would be fairly high. Power for the pump isn't a problem.
Asked by Lori S - Sat Feb 23 10:31:40 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I would suggest you ask a couple of water well drillers in the area what is the best. I find this is the type of equipment where local practice is a good measure of the best for the area. Depending on where you are in West Texas, the distance to a good supplier for repair and parts might be a goodly distance and having a dependable supplier may be more important that the actual pump you buy.
