An aquifer is a layer of water in the soil. A well is a hole drilled into that soil that will permit water to fill the lower levels of that hole. Water is then pumped from the well.
A pump connected to a metal pipe is lowered to the bottom of the well. The pump is generally operated by a motor located at the surface. The pump forces water from the aquifer up the pipe and to the distribution point at the surface.

What is typical source of well water?
aquifer is the correct answer
How can people obtain water from an aquifer?
People can obtain water from an aquifer by driling a well below the water table.
What might cause a well that draws water from an aquifer to dry?
If the water level of the aquifer falls to a level that the well does not reach, it will go dry.
What is the typical source of well water?

Is well water a type of surface water?
Well water is by definition from an underground aquifer, or water table.
What is a fresh water ground well called?
aquifer
Will your well water refurbish itself with a aquifer?
Yes, it does.
When is a well an artesian well?
An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an artesian well.
What forms when the water table intersects the surface?
aquifer well
A well in which water rises because of pressure within the aquifer?
In an artesian well, water rises because of pressure sustained within the aquifer. In this system, water sometimes escapes to the surface to cause artesian springs.
