Show Hint
Types of wells:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
\text{Open well} &\rightarrow \text{Large diameter, shallow}
\text{Tube/Bore well} &\rightarrow \text{Small diameter, drilled}
\end{aligned}
}
\]
Updated On: Jul 18, 2026
- Tube well
- Bore well
- Open well
- Artesian well
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
An open well is a large-diameter shallow well excavated manually to access groundwater from the water table.
Hence,
\[
\boxed{\text{Open well}}
\]
is the correct answer.
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(C)}
\]
