underground streams
Cavern water flows
Underground streams are bodies of water flowing beneath the earth's surface through caves, channels, or porous rock formations.
They feed wells and springs, shape limestone caverns, and supply aquifers.
Figuratively, underground streams suggest hidden currents of influence or information flowing unseen beneath the surface of events: There were underground streams of dissent that the regime couldn't detect.
