What are tube wells?

A tube well  is a type of water well in which a long 100–200 mm wide stainless steel tube or pipe is bored into an underground aquifer. The lower end is fitted with a strainer, and a pump at the top lifts water for irrigation. The required depth of the well depends on the depth of the water table.
