An abandoned borewell presents a different geology - whether it is primary or secondary aquifer needs to be confirmed.  The fact that it is abandoned is an indication it has touched rock bottom which is impervious.  More importantly, the aquifer characteristics are vital in ascertaining the period of usage as well.  Bore dia is important as storm drainage could be incompatible.  Please verify these basic parameters prior to any decision in the matter.  All the best.
