Abstract: The story of springs revealing aquifers, exploitation of groundwater, declining water pressure and the subsequent loss of oases has been retold time and again around the globe. Desert springs or oases have empowered people throughout history and across cultures. In other places around the world, springs are fed by "fossil water" - with no rainfall currently entering the aquifer, the system must have been replenished during wetter climates of the distant past. Likewise, the ancient Egyptians consulted a human oracle at the Siwa oasis, which is sustained by desert springs. [Extracted from the article]
