Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A well is a deep hole or shaft dug into the ground to access natural resources. There are water wells, oil wells, gas wells, and more. Wells have been used in many cultures around the world for over 8, 000 years. The first wells were likely dug by hand or with very simple tools.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dug wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe. Historically, a dug well was excavated below the groundwater table until incoming water exceeded the digger’s bailing rate. The well was then lined (cased) with stones, brick, tile, or other material to prevent collapse.
