Home well systems?

Since my septic tank thread went well and I learned a lot of stuff, I figured why not start one about well systems?

I've been curious about some new houses/landplots where there doesn't seem to be any access to city water or sewers, so I'd like to know more about well systems. There are so many questions for a newb like me, for example:

1. how accurate are the hired professionals who will probe the land to see if there's a viable well underneath? If they say it will last 50 years for a family of 4, how believable is that?

2. what kind of systems are good? I assume most ppl are going to have a drilled well?

3. will Canadian winters affect these systems and what precautions need one take?

4. I assume power generators as backups are a must?

5. how clean is the water vs city water? any additional health risks?

I'm sure that I'll have more questions. Anyway, tx in advance!
