How on earth do wells work?

604 views

I don’t understand how do wells work. Like, I’ve seen a lot of wells made of stone, so, if you dig a huge hole in the ground, how does water come inside the well? Like, I’ve seen a lot of movies where someone gets stuck in a well or something, and there’s always a rock bottom. So, how does water get inside the well?

Have you ever been at the beach and dug a hole until water started filling it?

Image this in bigger and not at the beach. Add some structure to make sure the hole doesnt collapse due to erosion, a nice bucket to get the water and you have a well.
