Today, pumps. In some places years ago, there were “artesian” wells which were naturally under pressure so, if you dug a hole or drove a pipe into that aquifer, water would come out on it’s own. In the American midwest, there were artesian well which squirted water 10 feet into the air and did so day and night for years. Now that humans have tapped into most of the aquifers on the planet and are pulling water out faster than it is being replaced, there are very few artesian wells. Prior to the invention of pumps or in places today where pumps or power are not available, water is pulled up out of wells using buckets.
