jethrofloyd Posted May 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2022 A quite similar to the Fosse Dionne in France. For centuries, people have relied on the gushing, colour-changing waters of this ancient well – but no-one has ever been able to locate its source. In the heart of France’s idyllic Burgundy region, surrounded by manicured vineyards, fortified Renaissance chateaux and medieval hill towns, sits one of the bucolic area’s most mysterious attractions: a seemingly bottomless spring-fed pit in the small town of Tonnarre known as the Fosse Dionne. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200730-the-fosse-dionne-frances-mysterious-underground-spring 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should go there. Though that just supports my hypothesis. The water fairy Melusine is associated with Burgundy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted May 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2022 What is really super amazing is that it never, ever, ever rains on that particular mountain. Ever! Not a drop! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godnodog Posted May 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Water pressure from bellow and spread throughout the base of the lake? I have no idea how geological processes go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted May 20, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) There is obviously a “ source” of water, because, there is water in the lake. If it doesn’t come from above, it comes from below? Edited May 20, 2022 by lightly 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted May 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 20, 2022 It has a source, they just haven't found it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted May 21, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Yup Abe, that’s undoubtedly the answer to the mystery. Over most of the earth there is much more water underground, than above. Edited May 21, 2022 by lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the frog Posted May 30, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Aquifer and rain...There's a lot of lakes without any spring or river coming in. Water just sip in underground. But you can have a pristine spring nearby: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
