  2. Spring (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(hydrology)

    The forcing of the spring to the surface can be the result of a confined aquifer in which the recharge area of the spring water table rests at a higher elevation than that of the outlet. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources are artesian wells. This is possible even if the outlet is in the form of a 300-foot-deep (91 m) cave.

  3. Rainbow River - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_River

    The most significant natural feature is the first-magnitude headspring basin which produces between 400 - 600 million gallons (1.5 to 2.3 million m³) of fresh water per day, forming the Rainbow River. The looking-glass waters of Rainbow Springs come from several vents, not one large bubbling spring. The river itself supports a wide variety of ...

  4. Mineral spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_spring

    Mineral springs are naturally occurring springs that produce hard water, water that contains dissolved minerals. Salts, sulfur compounds, and gases are among the substances that can be dissolved in the spring water during its passage underground. In this they are unlike sweet springs, which produce soft water with no noticeable dissolved gasses ...

  5. Mineral water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_water

    Mineral water is water from a mineral spring that contains various minerals, such as salts and sulfur compounds. It is usually still, but may be sparkling ( carbonated / effervescent ). Traditionally, mineral waters were used or consumed at their spring sources, often referred to as "taking the waters" or "taking the cure," at places such as ...

  6. Manitou Mineral Springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitou_Mineral_Springs

    The spring water of Manitou Springs originates from two sources. "Deep-seated waters" of Rampart Range and Ute Pass provide one source of mineral water. Water below the surface is run through cavernous drainage systems called karst aquifers. Limestone in the water dissolves and resulting carbonic acid, or carbon dioxide, make the water ...

  7. Body of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_water

    a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large, usually saline, lake that lacks a natural outlet such as the Caspian Sea and the Dead Sea. In common usage, often synonymous with the ocean. Sea loch: a sea inlet loch. Sea lough: a fjord, estuary, bay or sea inlet. Seep: a body of water formed by a spring. Slough

  8. Fresh water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_water

    Fresh water can easily become polluted by human activities or due to naturally occurring processes, such as erosion. Fresh water makes up less than 3% of the world's water resources, and just 1% of that is readily available. About 70% of the world's freshwater reserves are frozen in Antarctica. Just 3% of it is extracted for human consumption.

  9. Geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geyser

    Geyser activity, like all hot spring activity, is caused by surface water gradually seeping down through the ground until it meets geothermally heated rock. [9] In non-eruptive hot springs, the heated water then rises back toward the surface by convection through porous and fractured rocks, while in geysers, the water instead is explosively ...
