Making good progress making active water source (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
going well
'making good progress' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'active water source' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'active' could be 'going' (similar in meaning) and 'going' is found within the answer.
'water' could be 'well' (well water is a kind of water) and 'well' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
