SPRING
WATER




Spring, in hydrology, opening at or near the surface of the Earth for
the discharge of water from underground sources. A spring is a natural
discharge point of subterranean water at the surface of the ground or
directly into the bed of a stream, lake, or sea. Water that emerges at
the surface without a perceptible current is called a seep. Wells are
holes excavated to bring water and other underground fluids to the
surface.

WHAT IS A
SPRINGHOUSE
SPRING HOUSE




A spring house is a small building built atop a spring source for purposes
of storage and refrigeration. Before the days of modern refrigeration, the
natural cooling properties of running water could be used to preserve foods
that would spoil in heat, and provide a consistently cool source of water.
Modern spring houses are quite rare, although some historic versions and
replicas built to historic standards are still in existence.

A traditional spring house was typically built out of stone, since it helped
to keep the interior of the space cool better than wood. The building typically
had a low ceiling and was quite small; many were set near housing. One historic
example even had an underground tunnel leading from the spring to the main
dwelling.

Inside the spring house, a diversionary trough was sometimes constructed for the
water to run through as it passed through the building.
