How to say "fountain" in Japanese

• 泉いずみJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounA spring: water that wells up naturally from the ground. This covers the literal sense, seen in nature description, and figurative uses for a rich source; a park's built water jet takes another word.
  泉いずみはおよそ１７０フィートの高たかさまで温水おんすいを吹き出ふきだす。↗

  The fountain sends hot water to a height of 170 feet.
• 泉水せんすいCommon
  nounA spring or, especially, the water that flows from one. Like 泉 it concerns water rising from the earth; for the built structure spraying water in a park, this is seldom the word you want.

For "fountain", both words point to a natural spring — water welling up from the ground: 泉 names the spring itself, 泉水 a spring or its water; neither applies to the ornamental water jet of a park.
