Here's the other lovely thing, is the deeper you go with a well the worse the water quality. Deep water could have been sitting there for thousands of years and may have a higher radon concentration.

On the other hand, deeper water is less likely to be contaminated by toxic waste seeping down from the surface.

And the radioactive stuff can be filtered out locally much more easily (activated carbon).
