Water can be drawn from the Water Well by interacting with it. The well near the starting area of the game will allow you to draw around 3 to 5 jugs of Water, after which it will need to recharge for some amount of time; the same goes with Water Wells crafted and placed in a base.

How to get unlimited water from the Water Well?

There has been an exploit discovered by players that allows drawing unlimited water from the Water Wells without having to wait for a long time for the well to recharge. One effective trick is to empty out a placed Water Well, pick up the well and then place it back down again. This will reset the well and allow you to draw another 3 jugs of Water. This same exploit works with the Improved Water Well which will allow you to draw 5 jugs of Water each time.

Since this is not the intended design of the Water Wells, there is a huge chance that this will be patched out in an update. Players have also been sharing their suggestions on how to rework the wells to make getting water easier and more efficient.
