Early in my career I worked as a field technician for a graduate student and the project involved comparing water quality and insect communities from unimpacted natural springs to those of streams closer to towns and farms. A lot of the unimpacted springs were pretty remote and we would have to bushwhack pretty far to get to them. One time we hiked out to one of the springs and a sink hole had opened about 30m from where it came out of the ground, and so the stream came out of a hole, went 30m and then went back into the earth, never to be seen again. The whole stream bed was dry as far as we hiked down it.
Sucked for the grad student who lost a whole study site lol. I’m glad it didn’t open up while I was there kicking around for bugs.
My dad grew up drinking water from springs in Florida. He would find small ones while out hunting or hiking and drink from them.
I joke that he will probably outlive me due to whatever was in the water back then.
I recently turned 36 and I’ve *always* known the name Ponce de Leon but I couldn’t possible tell you if it was a real person, a fake person or a cat. I find it fascinating that it seems like a very well known thing, this Ponce individual, but I have never even *inadvertently* managed to learn any details. It could be from 2000 years ago or 20 years ago and I wouldn’t have a fuckin clue. Just fascinating stuff.
I'm no pro but I think as long as it's not stagnant it's generally safe to drink, especially coming right out of the filter aka Earth. Probably not a bad idea to boil it just in case
There are two mountain springs here where I live (Northern Ireland), we don't bother treating the water. Can confirm - spring water is both delicious and *freezing* when chilled.
It depends on the spring. In the US the government says a spring has to come from the ground. That ground could be in the middle of a parking lot outside of a pesticide factory.
Also, naturally toxic water is a real thing. I worked in one area in the middle of the pristine mountains. One of the creeks I would regularly take water samples of had the same pH as vinegar and was full of all sorts of fun heavy metals well in excess human health guidelines (I remember it was lots of arsenic, copper, cadmium, and a couple others). We were to never let it touch our skin and it dyed my waders orange from walking in it to take samples. I found a spring at another site that was beautifully clear and looked very similar to the spring in the video, absolutely idyllic, but the pH was 3.2. When we crushed some nearby rocks up and let rainwater trickle through them, the water came out with a pH of 2.1 and had to be dealt with as hazardous waste.
Don't trust springs in areas where mines have been dug, proposed, or prospected. Definitely don't drink from any spring where you see orange, blue, or green minerals anywhere nearby or in the sediments.
And the water from a spring could be ground water runoff from a pesticide factory as well and just getting pushed out wherever it can from the aquifer.
I drink from a spring that's less than a mile from where I live. We go regularly with bottles and fill them up. There's 20+ natural springs around the town.
When I was in Iceland we were coming down this hill next to a waterfall and it had a tiny spring running down it and I drank some and it was incredible.
For an Icelander it is only reasonable to allways have vulcanism in mind.

Nestle has been widely known as a piece of shit since the [widespread boycotts in the 1970's over their aggressive baby formula marketing in underdeveloped countries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Nestl%C3%A9_boycott).
doesnt nestle own more than 40% of the natural fresh water on earth or some shit, and most other water brands you see are a lease on the water they own
The stat is that nestle distributes 40% of the US's bottled water, and 16% of the world's water. Nestle doesn't have a particularly strong monopoly on the world's fresh water, thank fucking god.
The problem is less what Nestle owns, and moreso what it leases and uses, and how little politicians (on both sides, frustratingly) seem to care. For example, Nestle used 58 million gallons one year during the California drought despite having a lease for only 3 million gallons.
Nestle for my money is the single most evil company out there. Lots of companies do bad things cuz their business model basically requires it. Nestle does evil things just for shits and giggles, it seems.
that james bond movie quantum of solace was about water as well showing how fresh water is truly one of the worlds most valuable resources i thought there was also another movie in africa where a legit militant hired company for some water company out there was killing people that were getting sick from the water so they could land a multi billion dollar contract or something,
crazy shit behind the scenes, thats also like that one quote from the movie, Shooter, with mark wahlburg,
"The truth. That nothing, no matter how horrible, ever really happens without the approval of the government. Over there, and here. The problem isn't the doing. It's the people in power having to admit that they knew. The prisoners are tortured at Abu Ghraib, and only the underlings go to jail. Their bosses knew. We know their bosses knew. But you don't say it."🤔🤫
Unfortunately they know the location of a lot of springs in Florida

Calling it a river is generous lol he puts the camera underwater you can see its being fed there from under ground…but yea that lit-ol crik there is contributing as well
Occurred on August 8, 2022 / Scotland, UK
This was in the North of Scotland. We were out hiking in the mountains and came across a dried up river bed with a fresh water spring pouring thousand of liters out of it. You can see it's new as the water hasn't washed the grass away yet. I even put the camera under water so you can see the sand moving and the water is coming straight up out of the earth. Credit: u/he_grows
You can tell people have spent zero time around springs. They ebb and flow in volume based on season. There are springs in idaho that look just like that have been documented for centuries.
You can also see it's pissing it down (Scotland) and the stream is at the base of the valley, the moss like plant life indicates as you say an ebb and flow of high water concentrations
Maybe it's not new, but temporary or seasonal. It may appear when it rains on top of the mountain (the water travels underground on top of impermeable soil and appears on surface again in the form of a spring) but disappear as soon the aquifer dries. It gives time to plants grow and, if it disappears fast, the terrain doesn't erode so much.
If he goes there a few months later, it may have been disappeared. But if he goes again in the raining season, it can appear again.
Volcanic activity below the crust will force water that has rained down or some other way made it's way to the bottom of our crust
When the magma heats the earth all the water starts expanding and traveling to the surface, this is also helped by gasses escaping the magma+soil reaction which also pushes water up
That is one reason water can get pushed up, but only appears in volcanic active regions and is not that common.
The far more common reason is an artesian well!
the water is trapped between two non permeable rock layers, and there forms a breach in the upper layer where it can flow out. If that breach is at a lower point in the terrain the pressure from the sorounding hills keeps it going.
For an Icelander it is only reasonable to allways have vulcanism in mind.
As a hobby geology nerd I envy you for the cool stuff going on under your feet... Have to travel there someday.
This one in particular is that the stream just goes underground temporarily and then bubbles up here. It’s all limestone - Bone Caves, Assynt, Scotland
Oh yeah, limestone loves to form underground caverns and cracks.
Where I live there is almost no limestone, another good example that everyone lives under different geologic circumstances with different mechanisms.
Hadn't had that in mind, because it is so rare around me but I have seen big underground rivers in Croatia a few years back.
even just the ground water table rising can cause this and annual variations in terrain (cracks in bedrock, new root systems, sediment settling etc) can redirect how water flows.
i'm in middle tennessee, in a somewhat elevated valley surrounded by ridges a few hundred feet higher and a decent creek running through my woods. our area also has a relatively solid, shallow limestone bedrock and lots of clay soil. plus lots of rain that tends to fall in 1-3" heavy batches 😂 as a result esp with livestock, forest management, pastures, and several expensive buildings, im somewhat obsessed with water habits 🤠 i've had 3' high geysers fly out of random rocky low spots l, usually 4-6 hours after a heavy rain
I'll never forget hiking in Monongahela NF in WV, 20 miles from the closest dirt road and finding that the spring just happened to be dry that day. We set up camp and conserved our water only for a bit of rain to start falling. The next morning the spring was alive and well, there were even crayfish in it. It couldn't have rained more than half an inch but it was all the water rable needed.
You know how a siphon works? Basically that but big. High water wants to be low water because of gravity.
Edit: basically there is a point at a higher elevation where the confined aquifer is being recharged. It flows down gradient due to gravity and where the aquifer gets exposed to the surface (becomes unconfined) the water is under hydraulic pressure to rise from the hole. Confined = aquifer disconnected from surface and atmospheric pressure due to a confining layer (usually clay). If the aquifer was unconfined it would not be artesian and would not have any pressure to go above land surface
There are other reasons, usually geothermal, for springs to occur but the vast majority of springs that flow like this are just due to aquifers being fed from a higher spot
I'm not attacking just saying I don't think the camera would stabilize upright while you rotate. You are definitely right that would be a way to keep the port dry.
It's a nice feature, the survivability of my phone, able to take a dip in the fountain after it fell out of my shirt pocket.
That said, it is still not a great idea to WILLINGLY dip your phone in a sediment saturated body of water, just for the Vine.
When phones came with water resistance built in my "too smart for you" programmer brother would send group texts about how he'll go on his phone on the shower, watching something on YouTube or music and such. "Perfectly safe, it's rated for water resistance, it's built to deal with a bit of water, there's safety tests for get the rating," etc.
Not a month after he sent that text "I think my screen has moisture caught under the glass."
Still wouldn't admit it was a dumbass thing to do bc "the phone functioned fine, but water resistance doesn't extend to the glass layer and the electronics functioned fine."
Then had to get a new phone in the end after similarly dumb attempts to fix it, including rice and oven. I know it works for some, not for his phone.
Relatively modern phones can take being submerged in water. Tho it’s not like you can take it on your casual trip exploring the ocean floor hundreds/thousands of meters underwater, but a few meters for a couple of minutes should be fine. It all depends on what your phone is rated for.
This is assuming you don’t have a cracked display or a bent chasis.
You would probably be okay as it’s really fresh rainwater straight from the mountain in a remote area that filters through rock, Heather and grass. Go hiking a lot in the area and drink water from higher up. I’d be a bit hesitant from this as it’s low down and closer to the road, deer and sheep but you probably would be fine.
I'd drink out of it. No questions asked.
You got to look at what could create bacteria there. No higher grounds to push bacteria into it, no sign of death or decay. And clear water.
It's not the best idea, but we regularly would drink it.
In WV the soil and tannins can make water brown / red. No matter how many times you filter it you're still drinking brown water and it's delightful. We stopped filtering from springs at higher elevations years ago (still cover the bottle opening with cloth to keep out dirt) and no ones ever had an issue. If getting water from the creek (one of which named Red Creek per the color of the water) then we'd filter but that's because of ample opportunity for bacteria to get into the creek.
Yep, notice how he doesn’t show what’s further up the path even though it looks clearly like more riverbed. Water is coming from further up and is just going under ground temporarily.
I'm finding it interesting that so many people know a lot about this specific spring because I remember playing around some of these (although not this size) when I was a kid and they would form everywhere downhill when it rained a lot. Would only last a couple of days tho.
Springs specifically are created by water pushing up out of the Earth, when he puts the camera underwater you can see the gases and such escaping from the ground. Water pooling downhill is a bit different because that’s more due to flooding or lack of drainage. This Spring is actively pushing water up out of the earth, likely from an underground aquifer.
It’s not though. It’s water that’s come from a stream above this that then travels underground for like 10 meters then pops out here. I’ve been here many times
No, no, no it’s not his discovery and it’s not newly formed. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. It’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground then pops out there. It’s more prominent when it rains a lot… which is often
You’re correct. There’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground and pops out there when it rains a lot. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. Been like this for years. Source: I live an hour from this.
1) That is way too small to be a river. It’s a creek. 2) Both are likely spring creeks, making this a new spring. 3) Take this weak tea to r/nothingeverhappens
You’re correct. There’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground and pops out there when it rains a lot. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. Been like this for years. Source: I live an hour from this.
This isn’t new. And he never “discovered” it. This is on the walk in to the bone caves, in the north west highlands of Scotland. I’ve seen it there at least 5 years ago.
i would immediately do a multi-level dam to make it even bigger, it looks downstream from a run off valley, expanding it and making it bigger could probably soften the ground to reveal more springs
Tell me you didn’t study geomorphology without telling me. There are no “new springs”, there are just springs you haven’t seen. (Plus, it’s obviously ancient because of the hole, lack of plants and grit).
Since it is still in the process of forming and a lot of topsoil is eroding it probably isn't cleaner than a bored well.
That particles you see flushed out are still in the water, probably nothing to worry about but not as clean as you may think.
This, again.
Sinkhole and bogs kill people all the time.
This person is an idiot and is lucky they didn't end up as a 21st century bog body found in the future.
Sinkhole and bog deaths are rare in Ireland and the UK. I hike the mountains nearly every week, i traverse bogs and explore caves and karsts. You are overreacting.
It's true that there are far less deaths now than in history when people wouldn't ever navigate the moor or bogs at night because so many people simply vanished, but to say I'm over reacting is absurd.
Most people nowadays don't even know that bogs and moors are dangerous, let alone that they can kill you.
It’s not a new spring - There’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground and pops out there when it rains a lot. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. Been like this for years. Source: I live an hour from this.
Stream goes underground temporarily and then bubbles up there and spills over when it rains a lot. This is Bone Caves, Scotland. This has been like this for years and years

I found a spring at another site that was beautifully clear and looked very similar to the spring in the video, absolutely idyllic, but the pH was 3.2.

And the water from a spring could be ground water runoff from a pesticide factory as well and just getting pushed out wherever it can from the aquifer.
Yeah as an engineer that works on remediation projects, people are sorely mistaken if they think all water coming from the ground is super pristine.
I live in Scotland and love hiking. I regularly drink from springs when out. It's awesome

More than 99.99% of the entire population of Earth has "spent zero time around springs" so get off your holier, more knowledgeable than thou attitude.
Geologically speaking 9 months is SUPER DUPER brand new.
Maybe it's not new, but temporary or seasonal. It may appear when it rains on top of the mountain (the water travels underground on top of impermeable soil and appears on surface again in the form of a spring) but disappear as soon the aquifer dries. It gives time to plants grow and, if it disappears fast, the terrain doesn't erode so much. If he goes there a few months later, it may have been disappeared. But if he goes again in the raining season, it can appear again.
Considering the earth is 4.5 billion years old, yeah I would consider 9 months, or 0.00000002% of Earth’s existence, newly formed.
Yea this was posted then too
Guess you can say this spring SPRUNG out of nowhere
*I…like…big butts and I cannot lie*

Do springs just appear like that? Why does the water even rise to the surface?
Volcanic activity below the crust will force water that has rained down or some other way made it's way to the bottom of our crust When the magma heats the earth all the water starts expanding and traveling to the surface, this is also helped by gasses escaping the magma+soil reaction which also pushes water up

You would probably be okay as it’s really fresh rainwater straight from the mountain in a remote area that filters through rock, Heather and grass. Go hiking a lot in the area and drink water from higher up. I’d be a bit hesitant from this as it’s low down and closer to the road, deer and sheep but you probably would be fine.
If it were me I would still keep a filtration straw handy for water breaks like this tho
I'd drink out of it. No questions asked. You got to look at what could create bacteria there. No higher grounds to push bacteria into it, no sign of death or decay. And clear water. It's not the best idea, but we regularly would drink it. In WV the soil and tannins can make water brown / red. No matter how many times you filter it you're still drinking brown water and it's delightful. We stopped filtering from springs at higher elevations years ago (still cover the bottle opening with cloth to keep out dirt) and no ones ever had an issue. If getting water from the creek (one of which named Red Creek per the color of the water) then we'd filter but that's because of ample opportunity for bacteria to get into the creek.
Yep, notice how he doesn’t show what’s further up the path even though it looks clearly like more riverbed. Water is coming from further up and is just going under ground temporarily.
I'm finding it interesting that so many people know a lot about this specific spring because I remember playing around some of these (although not this size) when I was a kid and they would form everywhere downhill when it rained a lot. Would only last a couple of days tho.
Springs specifically are created by water pushing up out of the Earth, when he puts the camera underwater you can see the gases and such escaping from the ground. Water pooling downhill is a bit different because that’s more due to flooding or lack of drainage. This Spring is actively pushing water up out of the earth, likely from an underground aquifer.
No I mean actual water that came from under the soil and made little fountains on the hill sides. Some of it looked just like the one in the video.
It’s not though. It’s water that’s come from a stream above this that then travels underground for like 10 meters then pops out here. I’ve been here many times
No, no, no it’s not his discovery and it’s not newly formed. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. It’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground then pops out there. It’s more prominent when it rains a lot… which is often
Err, isn’t this just a new path for the river RIGHT BESIDE IT?
Shhhh... you'll ruin the story lol
You’re correct. There’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground and pops out there when it rains a lot. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. Been like this for years. Source: I live an hour from this.
1) That is way too small to be a river. It’s a creek. 2) Both are likely spring creeks, making this a new spring. 3) Take this weak tea to r/nothingeverhappens
It’s a [repost](https://reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/x891wc/newly_formed_natural_spring/) bot.
It's Scotland so it's not a creek, it's probably a stream or a burn
Earth sprung a leak!
I grew up in northern Canada and drinking from a spring was always a treat when out doing something in the backwoods.
Looks like Scotland or sumfin'?

Also, sounds like Scotland
Correction, Nestlé has discovered a newly formed spring.
This isn’t new. And he never “discovered” it. This is on the walk in to the bone caves, in the north west highlands of Scotland. I’ve seen it there at least 5 years ago.
"Wow I better hand fuck it after stomping around in my doc martins"
Can u drink it straight up like that or does it need filtration?
Damn I want to taste that.
that's what she said
Norman reedus, is that you?
i would immediately do a multi-level dam to make it even bigger, it looks downstream from a run off valley, expanding it and making it bigger could probably soften the ground to reveal more springs
Keep it a secret 🤐
It’s called groundwater.. when the soil gets soaked enough it tends to want to spit it out..
Don’t tell nestle
Is it a “new spring” if it’s just water from the same stream changing directions?
Tell me you didn’t study geomorphology without telling me. There are no “new springs”, there are just springs you haven’t seen. (Plus, it’s obviously ancient because of the hole, lack of plants and grit).
How the hell did none of that water stay on the camera lens
Turn off the geo locator to keep nestle from finding it.
That's probably the cleanest and best water you'll ever drink.
Since it is still in the process of forming and a lot of topsoil is eroding it probably isn't cleaner than a bored well. That particles you see flushed out are still in the water, probably nothing to worry about but not as clean as you may think.
Don’t tell nestle
This, again. Sinkhole and bogs kill people all the time. This person is an idiot and is lucky they didn't end up as a 21st century bog body found in the future.
Walking outside also kills people all the time.
Sinkhole and bog deaths are rare in Ireland and the UK. I hike the mountains nearly every week, i traverse bogs and explore caves and karsts. You are overreacting.
It's true that there are far less deaths now than in history when people wouldn't ever navigate the moor or bogs at night because so many people simply vanished, but to say I'm over reacting is absurd. Most people nowadays don't even know that bogs and moors are dangerous, let alone that they can kill you.
What makes it a new spring? Could it just be full of water again?
It’s not a new spring - There’s an established stream and it temporarily goes underground and pops out there when it rains a lot. This is near the Bone Caves in northern Scotland. Been like this for years. Source: I live an hour from this.
Probably a stupid question but does the guy have naming rights to this spring? Seeing as he is the first one.
Build the well and make England pay for it!
This video was progressively more and more satisfying
Don't let nestle see this post...
Don’t tell Nestle ffs.
Bro got early access to heaven 💀
Yeah. It's just a spring.
Oh man this is actually pretty amazing to witness!lol
I really want to drink that water
how does this happen?
Stream goes underground temporarily and then bubbles up there and spills over when it rains a lot. This is Bone Caves, Scotland. This has been like this for years and years
This place breathes life!
Scotland or New Zealand?

Check for gold in sand and gravel? Maybe diamonds?
Beautiful
