underground springs

Hidden natural water reserves

Underground springs are natural water sources that emerge from beneath the earth's surface, fed by aquifers or subterranean water flows.

The water rises through rock or soil to reach ground level, often forming the headwaters of streams or pools.

The village depended on underground springs for drinking water.

Such springs have historically determined where settlements develop.
