Wells may be constructed as long as the well has a clear vertical pathway to a water source, i.e. an aquifer, an underground reservoir, an aboveground water source (if you built the well inside a house that's above water), or an underground river, brook, stream, or lake.

Construction
To build a well, press the b key, followed by the l key.
The required materials for building a well are:
