Capillary action
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action
Paper is made from fibers such as cellulose, which have many tiny spaces between them. When water comes into contact with paper, these spaces act like small capillaries, allowing the water to be drawn into the paper through a process called capillary action, where water moves due to the forces between the water and the cellulose fibers.

When paper towels absorb water, it is a physical change. The water is being absorbed through the fibers of the paper towel, but the chemical composition of both the water and the paper towel remains unchanged. The absorption process alters the state of the water from liquid to being held within the fibers, but no new substances are formed.

It signifies nothing but leave it to live freely.
Water is absorbed into paper towels due to capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. The porous structure of paper towels allows water to be drawn into the tiny spaces between the fibers, where it is held by adhesive and cohesive forces.

It depends on the cross section and depth of the well as well as the depth of the water table. Another factor is the amount of water that is being drawn from the well.
Paper towels absorb water due to capillary action and surface tension. The small spaces between the cellulose fibers in the paper create capillary channels that allow the water to be drawn up and held within the towel. The high surface area of the paper towel also helps to maximize contact with the water, leading to efficient absorption.
When you drop one drop of water on waxed paper, the water will bead up and form a circular shape due to the hydrophobic properties of the wax. This occurs because the wax repels the water, preventing it from spreading out or being absorbed into the paper.
The politician gave another long, drawn out speech. That water was drawn from this well. That picture was drawn with charcoal. There goes a horse drawn carriage!
