Water wells are holes dug down into the ground that reach all the way past the bedrock into your local aquifer, with the purpose of drawing up that groundwater to use on the surface. These structures have been a fixture of human society ever since we learned how to dig.
Before the invention of modern pumps and motors, often the way that people got water from wells was through the use of a bucket and pulley system, which allowed them to drop the bucket all the way down to the aquifer and draw up as much water as they needed. However, there were other methods of building wells, some of which are still used today, such as Indian stepwells. These types of water wells are large tiered structures built to accommodate the high levels of water received by the region in monsoon season, while still providing the community access to groundwater during drought.
However, the kind of water wells we at Barefoot’s Well Drilling and Pump Service provide are more akin to the simple wells used all over the world. Thankfully, though, our technology has progressed past the need for buckets and pulleys. Now, we use pumps to draw the water from the aquifer right into the pipes of your home, providing the same kind of seamless experience you would have if you were hooked up to the municipal water system. You will have access to all of the clean water that humans have been drinking for centuries without having to sacrifice the conveniences of modern life that we have all come to enjoy.
