This document discusses different types of irrigation wells. Lift irrigation involves pumping water from a source to higher elevations for irrigation. Shallow wells are less than 50 feet deep and tap into upper aquifers, while deep wells are over 22 feet deep. There are two main types of wells - water table wells whose levels change with rainfall, and artesian wells where underground pressure forces water up. Open wells can be unlined or lined using precast concrete rings or masonry walls. Tube wells consist of bored pipes that penetrate multiple water-bearing layers between impermeable surfaces, with shallow wells less than 40 meters and deep wells over 200 meters tapping deeper aquifers.
