As follows

Drinking source = Minhal = منهل
Depending on the text, the same word "Minhal" could be used as a learning source as well.

Context?

The term can be anything. Please, provide context "as in ...". It could be "manhal" but not "minhal" meaning as my colleague's answer states above.

Characterized by bounteous giving : freehanded, lavish, liberal, munificent, openhanded, unsparing.

Both مَنهَل "Manhal" and مِنهال "Minhal" are derived from the verb نَهَلَ "nahal", which means to drink plentifully. "Manhal" refers to a source of overflowing water (or, by extension, knowledge, or other enriching matter). "Minhal" is a superlative appellation of a bountifully giving person. The emphasis here is on the act of giving, not just the abundance of riches, as in the former. Thus, Minhal is often used as a given male name.
