Wells are structures that serve as water source for your dwarves. A well can be an important feature of a fortress, providing a clean and usually safe water supply compared to rivers, pools and cavern lakes.
Wells provide an emergency drinking source in case the alcohol runs out (don't let that happen!). A well is a water source that (if constructed correctly) will not freeze in the coldest weather, and should last in hot. Because the water from a well is never seen as stagnant, the dwarfs won't wait until they're thirsty and miserable to drink from a well should they need to.
Using a well provides that dwarf with a happy thought, especially if you make the well with high-quality chains and buckets, or the building designer produces a high quality result.[Verify] The unhappy thought that a dwarf gets from murky or contaminated water will not occur if the dwarf drinks that very same water by way of a well. A well even allows dwarves to drink from salt water (though this may be a bug).[Verify]
Badly wounded dwarves will drink only water while recuperating, never booze[Verify], so you better have a well or water zone ready for when anyone gets injured, and certainly before the first goblins show up.
Using the well (10 times) will take a small amount of water from the water tile below (1/7 from that one tile), so it will eventually dry up if not replenished.
Also, dwarfs can (and will) fish from a well if that labor is designated.[Verify] This does not harm the well.
A well can be defined as a meeting area with the q key. Un-defining the meeting area will break up any party that is currently formed around a well, and it can immediately be re-defined if you wish.
