deep pool

Water over head

A deep pool is a body of water with significant depth, whether natural or man-made: a deep pool at the base of the waterfall, the deep pool of a swimming hole.

Figuratively, a deep pool suggests abundance or richness of resources: drawing from a deep pool of talent, a deep pool of candidates.

The phrase emphasizes both depth and containment—resources that are substantial but bounded.
