The Water Gate was one of the principal gates on the east side of Jerusalem. Water Gate was in the vicinity of the Gihon Spring which was an important source of water for Jerusalem.
Fountain Gate was located in the southeast corner of Jerusalem in the vicinity of the Enrogel spring. Only a few hundred yards from the Dung Gate. The Fountain Gate probably provided access to the Pool of Siloam where the Gihon Spring was channeled.
