I bet your well is much deeper also. Your well may be on a spring but it's more than likey in some kind of pocket of water too. I have the same type springs your are talking about here. If it rains enough you can watch water bubble right out of the hole in the ground and it will gush for 2 to 3 weeks sometimes depending on how much rain we got. I call them wet water springs. A true spring will produce water at all times kind of like where your well is. It's tricky. It's kind of like creeks. You have creeks that have water in them all the time and then you have what we call wet water creeks that are only creeks when it rains hard enough. But if it is dry enough both of them can dry up for sure!! Just like springs can too. Not sure how far down your well is but I know growing up my dad had to drill 2 wells at our house and they were both over 50 feet deep before we hit good water. So you really cant compare both of them as your well spring could be totally different than the springs around your pond.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
