12.23.04 - Well

Bangalore, India

The Indian well is a very familiar sight in most homes. When we bought this
house it was one of the first things that caught my eye. In olden days almost
every home had a well. The well is usually about 100ft deep and provided water supply
to the household. This was before homes started getting water from the Corporation.
The water used to be pulled from the well using a pulley and a bucket and rope.
Nowadays this has been replaced by motored pumps. The water from the wells these
days are used mostly for the garden.
