Description

A well is an excavation or structure created in the earth by digging, driving, or drilling to access liquid resources, usually water. The oldest and most common kind of well is a water well, to access groundwater in underground aquifers. The well water is drawn up by a pump, or using containers, such as buckets or large water bags that are raised mechanically or by hand. Water can also be injected back into the aquifer through the well. Wells were first constructed at least eight thousand years ago and historically vary in construction from a simple scoop in the sediment of a dry watercourse to the qanats of Iran, and the stepwells and sakiehs of India. Placing a lining in the well shaft helps create stability, and linings of wood or wickerwork date back at least as far as the Iron Age.

ਖੂਹ ਜ਼ਮੀਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਖੁਦਾਈ ਕਰਕੇ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਇੱਕ ਢੰਚ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਪੀਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਤੇ ਸਿੰਚਾਈ ਦੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਸ੍ਰੋਤ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਲੰਮੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਤੱਕ ਪਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਸ੍ਰੋਤ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਪਰ ਅੱਜਕਲ੍ਹ ਟਿਊਬਵੈੱਲ ਜੋ ਕਿ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਜਾਂ ਇੰਜਣ ਨਾਲ ਚੱਲਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਇਸਦਾ ਮਸ਼ੀਨੀ ਬਦਲ ਹੈ, ਦੇ ਆਓਣ ਨਾਲ ਇਹ ਲਗਭਗ ਅਲੋਪ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ।
