Well Water

कूपजलम्

Well water (Kupa Jala) or subterranean water emerges from underground sources. Its properties depend on the soil type through which it percolates. Well water is generally heavier than river water or rainwater. Water from wells in sandy soil is lighter, while that from clay or rocky soil is heavier. The depth of the well and the minerals in the surrounding earth affect its taste and medicinal properties. Well water filtered through sand and gravel is considered superior.
