It was clickworthy, though.

That's misleading. Did you get lost on the way to r/tldr?

"Wells" doesn't cover the cisterns that were excavated out of limestone for rainwater collection, or the spectacular underground reservoirs that were constructed - there's a link to pictures in the OP link. There's also a lot more detail that goes beyond "wells".

It's worth clicking through and reading the comment. That's what r/depthhub is for, after all.
