Wrong.
Glyphosate breaks down in soil pretty quick, it has a half life of 7-60 days on average.
While it generally breaks down quickly it can persist in the soil for up to 6-8 months under certain conditions, but not for decades.
As for getting into a well, glyphosate binds tightly to soil particles so it's highly unlikely it would leach into groundwater.
Would you mind referring me to literature showing this (that isn't from a glyphosate selling company) as my previous research showed me long persistence.
I would really love to be wrong because I would nuke a whole bunch of stuff if I am wrong.
