Water hole.


Explanation:
Lisa, I think you must be looking for the actual meaning of the word "tinajero." According to the Cuyas dictionary, tinajero means:

I. maker or seller of earthen water jars;
II. stand or cabinet for earthen water jars;
III. (Mex) water hole, pothole.

Maybe this will clarify what you are trying to find. One of these definitions might work if you are actually trying to find a specific meaning.
