Why would anyone go up a hill to get water?

Water should be at the bottom of the hill, at the stream, or at a well.
Aren't wells more often dug nearer to the bottom of a hill?

"Fact checking" revealed the two actually went down the hill to fetch a
COVID shot.

Went down the hill
To get a COVID shot
Jack let out a sneeze
And cut the cheese,
And Gill was covered in snot.


Perhaps; but they also went up the hill for a bit of privacy.

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
For just an itty bitty.
Jill's now two months overdue
And Jack has left the city.
