The Well

A well is a structure created to access underground water, often by digging or drilling into the Earth's surface. Its purpose is to bring groundwater to the surface for drinking, irrigation, or industrial use. Wells can vary in size and depth, depending on the location and water source. They typically have a lining or casing to prevent collapse and contaminants. Once constructed, a pump is often used to extract the water efficiently. Wells have been a fundamental method for water supply for centuries, playing a crucial role in supporting communities and agriculture.
