Water wells are structures created in the ground to access groundwater stored in aquifers. They function as a means to extract water for various uses, including drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes. ### Key Components of Water Wells: 1. **Borehole**: The actual hole drilled into the ground to reach the water table. 2. **Casing**: A tube-like structure (often made of PVC, steel, or other materials) that lines the borehole to prevent contamination and collapse.
