wells
Dug for water
Wells are deep holes dug or drilled into the ground to access water, oil, or gas below the surface.
A water well supplies drinking water; an oil well extracts petroleum.
The verb well means to rise up or flow forth: Tears welled in her eyes.
A well of something is a deep source: a well of knowledge. (Capitalized Wells is a surname.)
