A spring may be the result of karst topography where surface water has infiltrated the Earth's surface (recharge area), becoming part of the area groundwater. The groundwater then travels though a network of cracks and fissures - openings ranging from intergranular spaces to large caves. The water eventually emerges from below the surface, in the form of a spring.

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 cave. In this case the cave is used like a hose by the higher elevated recharge area of groundwater to exit through the lower elevation opening.

Nonartesian springs may simply flow from a higher elevation through the earth to a lower elevation and exit in the form of a spring, using the ground like a drainage pipe.

Still other springs are the result of pressure from an underground source in the earth, in the form of volcanic activity. The result can be water at elevated temperature as a hot spring.

The action of the groundwater continually dissolves permeable bedrock such as limestone and dolmite creating vast cave systems

Difference between bottled spring water and bottled mineral water?

Bottled spring water comes from a natural spring and is typically high in minerals, while bottled mineral water comes from underground sources and has a specific amount of minerals added for taste and health benefits.

What is different about spring water compared to regular water?

Spring water is sourced naturally from underground aquifers, whereas regular water may come from various sources such as reservoirs or municipal water supplies. Spring water is typically considered to have a cleaner and fresher taste due to its natural filtration process as it trickles through layers of rock and soil. Additionally, spring water may contain minerals picked up from the surrounding environment, which can influence its taste and potential health benefits.

Is arrowhead water distilled?

Arrowhead sells multiple types of water. If you see 100% mountain spring water on their label, then its not distilled. That means it still has naturally occurring fluoride and other minerals in it. If you see Distilled water on label, then the water could be distilled municipal /well water. Do not use distilled water for daily use as it does not have necessary minerals. But distill water is probably better than drinking tap water or spring water as "No Fluoride poison in it!"
