That can be caused by drawing in dirt from the water bearing zones, depositing it down the bottom and blocking off some of the slotted casing, reducing the volume of water entering. It can also severely affect most submersible pumps by blocking them up, wearing them out or burning out motors. As long as the water in your well is not too deep (over 180ft or so of actual water column, depending on available air pressure), you can actually easily clean out your bore/well using a Brumby S1 or XS1 pump using a regular air compressor.

You can jiggle the pump up and down by the piping and it will pick up the sand and silt and lift it to the surface along with the water.
If the well is quite deep, the weight of the piping will require a bit more care to be taken.
