That’s why water from springs tastes so crisp. It isn't magic; it’s thousands of layers of clay, sand, and hungry microbes doing a deep cleanse.
It’s also why we need to protect our dirt. If we pave over a field or drench it with harsh chemicals, we destroy that natural filter. Then we have to spend billions building water treatment plants to do the soil's job.
