underground spring
Hidden water source
An underground spring is a natural flow of water emerging from beneath the earth's surface, where groundwater finds an opening through rock or soil.
Springs often become sources for streams, wells, or drinking water.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for hidden sources of renewal or inspiration: Her faith was an underground spring that sustained her through hardship.
