This could make you water lawn earliest, for a change (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

artesian well

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

'this could make you water' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lawn earliest for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'lawn'+'earliest'='lawnearliest'
'lawnearliest' anagrammed gives 'ARTESIAN WELL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artesian well that I've seen before include "Bored source of water" , "device for getting water" , "Source of water with natural pressure" , "supply of water" .)
