Well Digging

Well Digging is a tech from the Neolithic Era. The oldest and most common kind of well is a water well, to access groundwater in underground aquifers. Ancient wells are simply holes dug deep enough that they penetrate below the water table and fill up with water. To retrieve the water, settlers use simple pots and buckets on ropes. This method of retrieval allows for building away from rivers while meeting the hydration needs of the community.
