A water well is a well that technicians may dig, drive, or drill in order to get access to groundwater. Wells may be private, providing water to a single household, or can distribute water to several neighboring structures. In regions where municipal water is not available, wells can provide a steady supply of water.

In a driven well, technicians drive pipes into the ground with percussive force until they hit deposits of water. Pumps can pull water up the pipes after they are flushed to remove debris. This method of well design can be inexpensive and rapid, but the narrow diameter of the pipes may limit the amount of water available, and maintenance can become complex, as the pipes will periodically clog.
