Is groundwater different from aquifers?
Groundwater and aquifers can both be tapped by wells.
What is a good example of an aquifer?
Generally, it is a geological formation that holds or transfers water. Most often to wells, springs, etc. It can be above or below ground. Above ground, many bodies of water stored behind dams could be referred to as an aquifer. Below ground, there can be natural formations that naturally store ground water and can be tapped with wells to provide drinking water. All aquifers have a rate at which the water can be tapped and still replenish it's levels. These vary for all of them. Lake Meade behind the Hoover Dam is a good example of an aquifer being tapped above the rate at which it can replenish it's levels.

Where do homes with wells get their water?
Depending on location, water underground can be is a layer that can be tapped anywhere in that area. Other places, it is in a stream, much as it is above ground. You dig a hole and go a little past the level of the water, install a casing or pipe for collection and a smaller pipe inside of it to pump out the water. Shallow wells have the pump above ground and deep wells have it at the bottom of the hole. It is easier to push water up from the bottom than it is to pull it up.
Why are wells used?
Wells are used to get fresh water from underground rivers when there is no water to use from above ground.
