You wouldn’t bring water to a well, a well naturally supplys it’s own water from underground sources called aquifers.

Specialists like, geologists, hydrologists etc.. would be hired by those organizations that you mentioned to find a safe and reliable underground source of water.

A hole is dug at those locations and the water can then be brought to surface using a pump. Filters and chemicals such as chlorine can be used to clean or filter water before consumption or use.
