Pozos excavados: La excavación de pozos a mano fue el único sistema de construcción en tiempos pasados y sigue aún utilizándose en aquellos lugares donde aún no ha llegado o no es posible la mecanización. Un pozo excavado se caracteriza, en general, por su gran diámetro ([mayor a] 1,50 metros) y por el hecho de que en su construcción la mecanización es escasa o nula.
