It's important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well because if you drilled 35ft but there was a remaining of about 5-10 more feet you wouldn't really get all the water from the aquifer, and you'd run out of water in an amount of time.
Into the aquifer
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.
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.

Into the aquifer
A well is simply a hole dug down to where the water is. Water seeps through the soil, and into the hole. So the well gets its water from the soil surrounding it. Actually water does not seep through most soils very well. When a well is drilled, the Driller looks for an Aquifer. An Aquifer can be clean sand and/or gravel saturated with water or it can be porous rock formations that allow water to travel rapidly into the drilled bore hole.

A well is basically a hole drilled deep into the ground until it reaches an aquifer, which is a body of rock that transmits water. Wells with electric pumps pump the water through pipes to it's destination.
