With a water well drilling rig? I assume you would hire a contractor
to drill the well for you. Depending on the geology, they would either
use rotary or hammer drill techniques.

This site may give you some idea of the possibilities.

I also discovered this one, that seems to indicated that you may need approval:

This site is not from your district, but it suggests that the Ground
Water Department is there to offer technical assistance:

Good luck.

I would also be rather careful

- bore holes dug in India have produced water saturated with minerals,
I think it was Aluminium, and they were literally poisonous
- quite a scandal, but to be fair, nobody thought of testing the water
for the un-obvious

Recently, on the radio, I heard about somebody having a well dug in
Nigeria, it was entirely manual and done by two guys in about three
weeks.

This is going to sound odd, but about 20 years ago a Belgian company
wanted a bore hole drilled in the UK, they sent over a farmer for the
day (he did not like to leave his cows over-night) he wandered around
with his stick, told them where to drill and to what depth - and
returned to his farm.

To the delight of the locals, and to the disgust of London
consvervationists, there is a medium sized production plant in the
midst of an area of natural beauty.

Basically, what I am saying is :-

1) Check out the quality of the neighbours wells - it might be poison
2) Check out local well diggers
