Pumping wells are either located around the perimeter of the open pit, on mine benches mid-slope on the pit walls, on the floor of the pit, or in some combination of these locations. As the pit is deepened, replacement wells usually need to be installed, which indicates a preference for wells located on the perimeter of the pit where possible.
