  • Water springs are created when water is filtered through permeable rock in the ground and then flows downhill until it reaches ground level. Learn about how water springs work with tips from a math and science teacher in this free video on water spring.

      This is the worst video I have ever seen.! In Australia, the best springs are found at the top of the mountain, forced up by the weight of the mountain, so as the water falls through the porous rocks and cannot fall any longer, some of it will be pushed out to the side of the mountain as shown in this video and some will be pushed out at the top. The top water has been pushed out under pressure from the mountain above. In many instances the movement of the water upwards is aided by the anti-gravity lift caused by the water vortexing under pressure. See Viktor Shauberger from Austria.

    According to the previously mentioned facts, it is evidently that there are seasonal variations in the water temperature in all of these spring which depending u pon how direct the concat is between the groundwater and temperature of the atmosphere. We research known, genereally the standard varoition in the spring from 0 °C - 3°C with a mean value of 1,5 °C, where as the variations in the water temperature in the open streamflows in karst vary from 1 °C to 6°C with the mean value of standard deviation of 3 3° to 4°C.

    Evaporation does not defy gravity any more than a boat floating on the water does. H2O as a gas weighs less than the other gasses around, so the heavier molecules sink and H2O goes up. Same concept with a boat weighing less than the amount of water it displaces.

    I live on a Greek island just off the coast of Turkey and for a whole summer I had an argument with my father and some of his friends about the source of some springs on the island. There was (and still is) no way to convince them that it all comes from rain water. They said because the flow of water was so much, it has to come from places like Turkey, other islands and even Egypt! If they understood any English I would show them this video. Stubborn old men! Ha ha!

    • @sosaassociates
      @sosaassociates Před 7 lety +1

      Iron Fist:
      Sorry to tell you, the old men may be correct in part. Rain water is not the only way water gets to the top of the hills, there are also geophysical reasons why water is displaced upwards to higher altitudes through thousands of miles of cavities formed for millions of years. Not all densities of soils are in the ordered the way presented in this video. Imagine hot waters trapped at very low altitudes over the sea level, all the soils surrounding them are solid rock except the lower volcanic channel they get the heat from and an upper channel shooting straight up to the top of your island. By the time it finds an escape almost at the top of that hill it is cool and filtered. There is your spring water that didn't come from rain
      Maybe not from Turkey or Egypt but from the china sea or maybe even from the waters that surround your island.

    That isn't actually how most springs work, but never mind.
    Less than 10% of rain reaches the oceans as direct run off.
    Over 90% is absorbed into the ground, and will continue to slowly sink until it reaches an impermeable layer.
    Think of dripping water onto a sponge.
    The water that has reached the bottom of the sink forces water to the surface through fissures in the substrate by Archimedes Principle.
    Which is why in times of drought, most springs dry up as well.

    Very nice thanks. QUESTION:
    I have a lake/pond say 500ft diameter 20ft deep, and the lake is fed by underground streams. If I were to drain the lake, then fill that lake with sand, would the pressure of the sand stop the water or would the water seep thru the sand trying reach its original level within the sand. I'm thinking of how construction companies level land that once had ponds. Thanks.

    Ok, how about salty springs? We have a freshwater spring on our farm feeding a dam, 25 metres downhill from the dam is another spring that is 11.5 microsiemens /cm (7 parts per million) salt content, this flows out of the soil and down a creek line to the river, 600m away. Why is this stream salty? There is no salt in the paddock and the spring is 10m higher than the river.

    Ok, so you are saying a spring is really just rain water that is filtered down through the ground? How does it stay so active? Why has the one on my family farm able to create a fairly large pond and keep it at a consistent level and never stop flowing? Even when it has not rained for quite a long time. Something doesn't add up with this explanation. I think Springs are a little more complex than this video leads on.
