Good as a source of water? (4-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

well-behaved

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'good' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'a source of water?' is the wordplay.
'a source' becomes 'well' (well is a kind of source).
'of water?' becomes 'behaved' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'well'+'behaved'='WELL-BEHAVED'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for well-behaved that I've seen before include "Acting with decorum" , "Conducting oneself properly" , "Acting with propriety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
