spring-fed pool
Natural aquifer outlet
A spring-fed pool is a body of water supplied by an underground spring rather than surface runoff or municipal sources.
The constant flow of groundwater keeps the water fresh and typically cool year-round.
Natural spring-fed pools are prized for swimming, while artificial ones use springs instead of chlorinated systems: We swam in a spring-fed pool carved into the limestone.
