Here in New Mexico they tell me 1 gpm is the survival rate.  2 gpm is
better and it goes up from there.  I think it all depends on your uses
and number of users.

One neighbor had a flow of 1/2 gpm and put in a swimming pool.  When
he ask the well guy if he could fill the pool he was told yes but not
from that well.  He had to truck in the water for the pool.
