Water being a common necessity of life, it figures into many creation myths. Some, such as the ancient Egyptians and the Christian Bible, have water first, then creation. Destruction is also caused by water in the Great Flood. So, yes, while different, the myth of a king born near a well still bears similarities to many creation myths. I guess water also figured into the myth of King Arthur as well, having received the sword Excalibur from the Lady in the Lake.

So interesting.
May be water has it's specific meaning to the unconsciousness of human being
Human beings are made up of up to 60% water. One of the first things scientists look for in a potential second Earth is whether it contains water, it being a necessity for life.
The Native American demonstrations last year at Standing Rock in the Dakotas was all about protecting the water. They branded themselves as "water protectors." I feel bad referring to this as a brand, but this really resonated with people. Water has mythological meaning that works when trying to persuade people to your side.
