Found Groundwater, now what?


So I was digging some test pits and found groundwater about 3 feet down. What would be my next step to turn this into some reliable, clean water source? I have already had the spring next to this tested with great results.

My initial thoughts are to actually fill this back in with sand and gravel and drop a sandpoint in it. The pit is 5 x 12 and has about 18 inches of standing water. Sides are unstable as is, so I’m sure by the time I get backfilled there will already be sediment in there. But at least I know where the water table is here
