Springs. What is a spring? Useful properties of spring water

Information has long been an important part of a person's life, generating more and more new questions in his head. Each of us often heard the word "springs". What is the concept exists, for anybody is not a secret. The question is: what does it mean?

Springs are the waters that come to the surface of the globe from the very depths of the planet. Underground fluid motion is not always the same. Sometimes it is a real river, flowing under the soil along the waterproof layer, in another case - just a thin stream. In some places, the jet bursts out of the source with a fountain. This phenomenon is called a griffin. And sometimes on the surface are formed only small droplets slowly accumulating in the natural pool.

Useful properties of spring water

Getting to the surface of the earth, spring water undergoes natural filtration, ensuring purity. Numerous layers of sand and rocks do not let dirt pass. The main thing is that such a kind of cleaning does not take away useful properties from water, does not affect its structure, does not affect the hydrochemical composition. For these reasons, water from the spring can and should be drunk without purifying it with additional methods.

Springs in nature are in completely different places, that is, the water from each separate source will differ in useful and medicinal properties. Some will help a person to overcome problems with violation of blood pressure, have a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system, and also calm nerves. Water from other sources will help relieve pain in the head, and also affect the cleansing of the kidneys and liver.

Is there any useful water in each spring?

Springs are sources of useful clean water. This is what most people think, and, unfortunately, they are mistaken. Springs with water, which has medicinal properties, in fact, very little. In a large percentage of sources, the liquid not only does not have useful substances in the composition, but it can completely harm a person, causing a number of serious diseases. The reasons for this are the following: the water layer from which the springs are born is in close proximity to the surface of the earth, and, therefore, harmful substances can enter it from outside. It is especially dangerous to drink water from a source located near landfills or plants.

In water from such a natural pool, it is almost always possible to find a variety of bacteria, E. coli, gasoline wastes. And also other harmful elements that play the role of a catalyst in the occurrence of severe diseases. If a person takes care of his health, and also cares about the safety of family members, he should avoid drinking water from unknown springs. Not only is this water not worth drinking. Sometimes it is even harmful to wash, despite the fact that outwardly it seems clean and transparent.

Kislovodsk

Kislovodsk is a unique place where practically the most beautiful springs in the nature are collected. Photos of sources can be seen in any tourist guide, where such resorts are represented. The healing power of the mineral waters of Kislovodsk has been known since ancient times. This is evidenced by the numerous records found by the descendants of the mountaineers. There is a legend praising the springs of the Kislovodsk. What is really possible, confirms the story told on the valiant warrior Aref. He, being wounded, bathed in the source of "nart-san" and completely recovered.

The boiling narzanny well

At first, vacationers in Kislovodsk scooped water with cups straight from the pool, gradually tapering like a funnel. In his work Lermontov called the spring a boiling well. Later, the area around the source was equipped, the famous Narzan gallery appeared. While the well itself was trimmed with a stone and covered with a lattice of iron. After a while the pool was covered with a glass dome, decorated with marble, and cranes were built into the walls. They began to use vacationers to collect healing water. At the moment, the "boiling well" performs a decorative function, pleasing the visitors with an amazing dance of bubbles under the dome. Not all springs can boast of such beauty. What is sulphate narzan?

Sulphated warm Narzan

Kislovodsk is not rich in one type of narzan, the source of which are springs. What is a common narzan? The one that used the ancestors to treat diseases. Today it is bottled for sale in stores. In addition to the general, there is dolomite, zhelabovskiy (the source of which can be found on the street with the corresponding name), and also sulphate. All types of mineral water in Kislovodsk have a similar chemical composition. The only thing they differ from each other: the proportion of chemical elements present in the water, and even how much it is saturated with gas. Thus, narzan, called dolomite, is more mineralized, that is, it helps the body better to get rid of toxins. Sulfate is suitable for drinking treatment more than others. And the narzan from the spring on Zhelyabovskaya Street is more delicious than the rest.
