[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

fountain
   heb. 'ain; i.e., "eye" of the water desert, a natural source
   of living water. palestine was a "land of brooks of water, of
   fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills"
   deut. 8:7; 11:11.
   
     these fountains, bright sparkling "eyes" of the desert, are
   remarkable for their abundance and their beauty, especially on
   the west of jordan. all the perennial rivers and streams of the
   country are supplied from fountains, and depend comparatively
   little on surface water. "palestine is a country of mountains
   and hills, and it abounds in fountains of water. the murmur of
   these waters is heard in every dell, and the luxuriant foliage
   which surrounds them is seen in every plain." besides its
   rain-water, its cisterns and fountains, jerusalem had also an
   abundant supply of water in the magnificent reservoir called
   "solomon's pools" q.v., at the head of the urtas valley,
   whence it was conveyed to the city by subterrean channels some
   10 miles in length. these have all been long ago destroyed, so
   that no water from the "pools" now reaches jerusalem. only one
   fountain has been discovered at jerusalem, the so-called
   "virgins's fountains," in the valley of kidron; and only one
   well heb. beer, the bir eyub, also in the valley of kidron,
   south of the king's gardens, which has been dug through the
   solid rock. the inhabitants of jerusalem are now mainly
   dependent on the winter rains, which they store in cisterns.
