Under control constructing water supply (4-2-4)
I believe the answer is:
well-in-hand
'under control' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'constructing water supply' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'water' could be 'well' (well water is a kind of water) and 'well' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'inhand' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
