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.

It's just groundwater.

Groundwater is the water which is in the ground, and above a ground layer the water can't pass through (often rock). It's everywhere, so the well doesn't dry up.
