"A Cache A Day While On Vaca - "BH, SD & CQ Cache Exploration"
Today was a day that I was able to share with my best friend the sport of geocaching. In doing so, I also got the privilege to learn a little bit about the area in which she lives.
I was fortunate enough to visit a natural spring water spot, free flowing that came directly from the mountain. I could not help but go up and try it. I must say that it was the best water in the world. (It definitely beats city water!)
So in tribute to our day, I place this cache for all to share and experience the natural resources that we often take for granted.
Here is some information about Natural Spring Water.
A spring is any natural occurrence where water flows onto the surface of the earth from below the surface.
Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of lithologic formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged from, and eventually flows to, the surface naturally; natural discharge often occurs at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands. Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells. The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.
Earth's approximate water volume (the total water supply of the world) is 1 360 000 000 km³ (326 000 000 mi³).
A graphical distribution of the locations of water on Earth.
· 1 320 000 000 km³ (316 900 000 mi³ or 97.2%) is in the oceans.
· 25 000 000 km³ (6 000 000 mi³ or 1.8%) is in glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets.
· 13 000 000 km³ (3 000 000 mi³ or 0.9%) is groundwater.
· 250 000 km³ (60 000 mi³ or 0.02%) is fresh water in lakes, inland seas, and rivers.
· 13 000 km³ (3 100 mi³ or 0.001%) is atmospheric water vapor at any given time.
This should be a quick grab & go. Cache contains a log only, please remember to bring a pen.
Thanks and good luck!
