Wooden Water Well 3D model

Humans constructed wells by first conducting research to identify the most suitable location for excavation. Without access to ultrasound or X-ray technology at that time, they relied on their ancestors' experiences, intuition, knowledge, and traditions. Wooden poles were strategically placed in the excavated pit using an ancient method. Since they lacked understanding of reinforced concrete production techniques, wood's susceptibility to rotting under water was mitigated by applying special mixtures derived from natural sources. Precise measurement (in centimeters) was crucial when defining aquifer locations, as errors could result in catastrophic consequences. After installing the piles, workers equipped the well shaft, installed drainage systems, and added an exterior design component featuring a roof, chain-and-bucket mechanism, and seating area.
