Were Dalits prohibited from drinking water from wells in ancient times? Is there any evidence to support this claim?

I read another answer which is nothing but apologetics for the evil system. The OP claims :

Avarnas were people who were perceived to be doing ritually unclean jobs - not necessarily actual unclean jobs. For example, Toddy tappers were considered impure. Because, toddy tapping was considered impure.

When an Indian of any other caste permits a Paraiya to speak to him, this unfortunate being is obliged to hold his hand before his mouth, lest the Indian may be contaminated with his ​breath; and, if he Is met on the highway, he must turn on one side to let the other pass.

If any Indian whatever, even a Choutre, by accident touches a Paraiya, he is obliged to purify himself in a bath.

And that Dalits dealt with corpses that’s why others fetched water for them.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Every house had a well and no one stopped Dalits so on.

The Brāhmans cannot behold them, and they are obliged to fly when they appear. Great care is taken not to eat anything dressed by a Paraiya, nor even to drink out of the vessel he has used; they dare not enter the house of an Indian of another caste; or, if they are employed in any work, a door is purposely made for them; but they must work with their eyes on the ground; for, if it is perceived they have glanced at the kitchen, all the utensils must be broken.
