Answer: A SPRING.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A spring: is a natural exit point at which groundwater emerges out of the aquifer and flows onto the top of the Earth's crust (pedosphere) to become surface water.
  • It is a component of the hydrosphere as well as a part of the water cycle.
  • Springs have long been important for humans as a source of fresh water, especially in arid regions which have relatively little annual rainfall.
  • Spring water is one of Earth’s most ancient and purest forms. It is sourced from natural springs and deep underground water sources located in geologically and ecologically sensitive areas.
