I had no well at my home, but when I visit grandmas home, I could find a draw well in the middle of the earth floor in the kitchen, and outside, I could see pump well.
In summer, well water was cold enough to be substitute of refrigerator.
Ice-cold watermelon was ready when I arrived.

Grandma was using well water for bath.
It means she had to carry the water from the well in a pail.
Thats one of domestic labor---how backbreaking it was!!
People at that time could never use it like water.
