zooming 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 .
