How does water get into a well and how do you get water from a well?

Wells are naturally occuring and have natural spring water in them. In most wells the makers have dug deep into the ground and struck water. The water, in turn wells up (hence the term well) and fills the deep gap. To get water out of a well, first you need to construct a bucket lowering mechanism, lower the bucket, and pull it back up. There you have it.
