wellwater

Bucket from below

Water drawn from a well—an excavated hole or drilled shaft that reaches underground water sources.

Wellwater often has a distinct mineral taste from the rock and soil it filters through: The wellwater here is so cold and clean.

In rural areas without municipal water systems, wellwater remains the primary source for drinking and household use.
