a small-diameter hole drilled into the earth's crust that fills up with water
a specially engineered hole in the ground
A vertical hole drilled into the earth's crust usually to a depth of less than 300 ft. for the purpose of accessing an underground water supply (aquifer). A pumping system generally of the submersible type is normally installed to bring the water to the surface under sufficient pressure to be used in a home.
a bored, drilled, driven or dug excavation utilized for the purpose of extracting groundwater from an aquifer.
Drilled, bored or dug wells for accessing water.
An excavation where the intended use is for location, acquisition, development, or artificial recharge of ground water.
A water well is a hole or shaft, usually vertical, excavated in the earth for bringing groundwater to the surface. Occasionally wells serve other purposes, such as subsurface exploration and observation, artificial recharge, and disposal of wastewater. Many methods exist for constructing wells; selection of a particular method depends on the purpose of the well, the quantity of water required, depth to groundwater, geologic conditions, and economic factors. Shallow wells are dug, bored, driven or jetted; deep wells are drilled by cable tool or rotary methods.
An excavation where the intended use is for the location, acquisition, development, or artificial recharge of groundwater (excluding sandpoint wells).
a well drilled to (1) obtain a water supply to support drilling or plant operations, or (2) obtain a water supply to be used in connection with an improved recovery program.
A water well is an artificial excavation or structure put down by any method such as , , , or for the purposes of withdrawing water from underground aquifers.
