As the first step, you need to find the right place for the well. When you search for the place to dig a well, you have to make sure that there is a water source in that area such as running stream and an open body of water. The well is required to be at least 100 feet from water source so that the water can use the ground as natural filter. Besides, the well should also be at least 100 feet from any contaminations source like animal area, dump, or toilet.

The second step is to start digging the well. Digging a well must be about five feet across in the circular shape. Digging a well can be dangerous and it needs at least two people. One digger will work in the bottom of the well with a shovel and pick. Then, he will fill his bucket with dirt and rock to be pulled up by the other person. You have to continue the digging until you get the water in the well about 6 feet deep.

The third step that should do is to cover the bottom part your well using four or five inches of the small rocks. This will be functioned as a filter that can keep any wildlife and insects from entering your well from the dirt below.

The fourth thing is to start reinforcing the edges of the well with brick. You can start it from the bottom. The brick should only be used for the first 5 or 6 layers and then you can use mortar as well. It would be wise if you reinforce the edges using two layers of brick. Moreover, you can continue to the very top with mortar and the brick. Finally, the top of the well needs to be covered with stone or concrete slab and the hole can be left for the pump. So, after the pump is stalled, the well is ready to be used.
