deep wells
Groundwater extraction points
Deep wells are water sources drilled or dug far below the surface to reach underground aquifers, typically extending hundreds of feet down.
The phrase often appears figuratively to describe abundant reserves of something: She has deep wells of patience, The team drew from deep wells of experience.
The metaphor suggests hidden resources that sustain through difficult times.
