A '''brick-lined well''' is a hand-dug [[water well]] whose walls are lined with bricks, sometimes called "'''Dutch bricks'''" if they are [[trapezoid]]al or made on site. The technique is ancient, but is still appropriate in developing countries where labor costs are low and material costs are high.
