    stream flows from the well and there is a stone across it as a bridge. When the people are doing the rounds they drink the water from the well when they are crossing the stone.
    The diameter of the well is fifteen feet and it is five or six feet in depth. The people have respect for these wells and they clean the well when it wants to be cleaned.
