In Chinese, we say 压水井(yā shuǐ jing) according to Mandarin tone sandhi rules, shuǐ here should be pronounced in the second tone (shuí), because the following character jǐng is also the third tone. I translated it into English directly (压 press水 water 井well). The well in the 80s was very popular in farmers' families. On the opening of well, there is a simple mechanical device, which has a lever. When you fetch water, you hold the outer end and continuously press it from the top down and then water will be lifted and flows out of the tube.
I will send you a few photos of the 压水井, so you can understand it well.
Yes, you are right. “Moat” is more accurate and proper. I didn’t know this word before. Thank you very much for telling me.
