A well is a hole or shaft dug into the ground to access underground water sources. The water table, which is the level below which the ground is saturated with water, is typically the source of the water in a well. The well is typically drilled or dug to a depth where the water table is reached, and a pump is installed to bring the water to the surface.

The well casing is a pipe that lines the well and prevents the surrounding soil and rock from collapsing into the well. The screen, which is typically made of metal or plastic, is attached to the casing and allows water to enter the well while keeping out debris and sediment. The screen is designed to allow water to flow into the well while keeping out larger particles that could clog the well.

The pump is responsible for bringing the water from the well to the surface. There are several types of pumps used in wells, including submersible pumps, jet pumps, and hand pumps. The motor is what powers the pump and is typically electric or solar-powered. The motor is connected to the pump and provides the necessary energy to bring the water to the surface.

Once the water is brought to the surface, it may require treatment and filtration to make it safe for drinking. This can include processes such as sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
