Did you know the deepest well ever dug is in Russia? It’s over 40,000 feet deep. That’s deeper than the Mariana Trench. They didn’t find water; they found boiling rock. Your backyard well is way more chill.
Also, ancient wells in China were lined with wooden planks. People dug them by hand. By hand. Imagine that: no loud machines, just sweat and muscles. Makes a $10,000 drill rig seem like a bargain, right?
One more gem: in some desert towns, wells are community property. Your neighbor might get a free drink. Maybe bake them a pie first. Water diplomacy is real.
