The Wonder Of An Oasis Water Source

By Nancy Gardner


Water is one of the primary needs of humans in order to survive. You need this in order to supply your body with the right amount it needs, and to wash your body, clothes, things, and food thoroughly. For people living near bodies of water, getting this is not at all a problem. You can just readily take how much you need and you get what you need.

Just like for example in the desert. This place is purely sand. Wherever you look at or wherever you reach, you will see nothing but sand, no rivers, no springs, no lakes, no sea, nor any kind of body of water. But make no mistake. Even without those, you can still obtain water in the desert and that is through the oasis water source.

I read an article about this back in my elementary years. A passing traveller in the desert got lost along the way and had come roaming around the place instead. And so because of that, he had consumed all the water he had and because of the extreme heat of the day, he quickly became thirsty since the water in his body is fast evaporating.

That is why en route, passing travelers stop by an oasis in order to refill their water containers for the rest of the journey. But aside from that, they also feel the need to cool off with a refreshing bath and rest under the shades of the trees. This is how needed oases are in the desert. For such reason, it is often under political or military control.

And just as he expected, when he had dug deep enough, he felt damp under his feet. So he dug more and more. And alas, there was water. That was when I first encountered the term oasis. This is actually a term used to describe a place in the desert where you can obtain water. So it literally is underground. Just like on land, you have underground water sources too.

For the man made wells, generations of people have taken responsibility for their preservation and this is the reason why you can still benefit from them when you happen to come across the desert. Actually, these features have been of critical importance for trade as well as transportation routes. That is why political or military control has been the common engagements.

There are also impermeable rocks as well as stones which trap H2O and keep it in pockets until it accumulates and reaches the surface. Because of this, birds come drinking and dropping some seeds into the area, oases then grow trees. This is how the area eventually yields vegetation and some plants. Usually, these grow by the edge of the oasis.

Many are curious about this too. But thats just the wonder of nature. It has its own way of cleansing. So you do not have to worry about drinking or using water that is filled with dirt. But then in this age, you can no longer be certain of things as you were before.

That is why there is already the distillation process whereby filtering is done until the safest is produced. But the healthiest is water coming from nature because the nutrients are intact. However, if you are still not that sure, then boil it for safety purposes.
