Benefits and Issues:
➊ When camels are given water to drink, after drinking once, they sit near the well, and after some time, they drink water again. For this purpose, a place is designated near the well.
➋ Whoever digs a well in a place that is not owned by anyone, then that well and the forty hand-spans of land around it become his property.
