How to check maximum capacity of borewell - Total depth 160 ft with submersible 5 hp 6 stage pump at 70 ft

I would like to know how to check the maximum capacity of the borewell. I have done a test on my borewell pump with 5 hp 6 stage submersible pump at full force the water level is down to 30 ft, 3 inch regular pipe it remains at 130 ft in borewell casing. The pump is at 70 feet and the total depth is 160 ft. The water level from the top is 15 ft when the pump is switched off.

Would like know if I can get water of 12 hp from it or would be too heavy for it, as my water consumption is very high.
