Best Answer

If a castle is besieged, no one can get in or out. The worst shortage you could possibly have is a shortage of water. People can survive without food much longer than they can survive without water. So if you wish to survive a lengthy siege, it is very important to have a source of water that is not going to run out. Wells are good for that purpose.
