A tube well is a type of water well in which a long 100–200 mm (4 to 8 inch) 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. A small reservoir of water is made at the outlet of the tube well. This reservoir is used for different usage of water by the local population.
