How on earth do wells work?

605 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?

Groundwater. Picture like mini rivers under the land surface. When you dig deep enough, water will either come through and/or seep into the hole.
