I wouldn't worry about it at all.

It might help, but not necessarily. Faults and fractures might channel water down to those depths as well as rock porosity/permeability.

Permeability is the measure of the ability of fluid to flow through a rock. Rock spaces (porosity), if they are not connected, will not allow water to flow through the rock, even though they might contain water. So you need porosity as well as permeability to allow ground water to flow down through a rock.
