Back in the 40s we had a dig well that was rock lined. Had the worlds best tasting water but would go dry in extreme dry weather. I was a small boy then but old enough to go to a spring down a hill behind the house on the side of a creek. We would carry water back in 2 gallon buckets, preferrably aluminum because they were lighter. We couldn't get the well dug deeper because of the rock lining, in fact well diggers refused to go down in rock lined wells.One well digger said he did go down in one once and was being drawn to the top when the bucket he was riding hit a rock and the walls started caving in. he could see the rocks piling up beneath him but they kept pulling him to the top. Later the bucket got stuck in the bottom of our well and Daddy lowered a short piece of railroad iron to flatten it out so it could be pulled out. You guessed in, the walls fell in and we had to have a new well dug. This time the folks put a pump in and we had running water in the house. No bathroom until I was grown, but running water was a great luxury. The well didn't go dry either.
