[edit] Poland Spring?
Does Poland Spring actually use spring water or is it just a fib?
[edit] Image
Where's the actual spring in the image? Lisiate 23:55, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Good point, I don't know. Maybe someone could upload a known spring and label it. HereToHelp 13:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Assuming the description attached when uploading the picture was correct I have fixed this. Sfnhltb 14:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
The spring is where the water comes out of the earth, through the rock. It *is* in the picture.
[edit] Bottle
What relevance does the image of the bottle really have to the article? Should be removed.--Hatch68 02:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose the relevance could be that most peple drink spring water from a bottle. -Will Beback 04:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well it should be in a spring water article, not in an article about springs.--Hatch68 18:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Biology
Seems like a section on the biology of springs might be interesting.Dmccabe 04:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mythology
Is there anywhere on Wikipedia that discusses alleged magical, healing and spiritual qualities of springs and springwater worldwide - eg. Fountain of Youth, that Catholic thing in France , modern day snakeoilers etc.
If not, would not this page be the apt place to start building such material (in an encyclopedic NPOV manner)?--ZayZayEM (talk) 02:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Spring (hydrosphere) → Spring (hydrology) – We obviously need a disambiguator here, but since "hydrology" is a far more commonly used word than "hydrosphere", I think "hydrology" would work better as a disambiguation term. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Rename per Good Olfactory. This arose out of a discussion at CfD discussion on Category:Springs. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support Waleswatcher (talk) 04:27, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support - the article and the category should have consistent names. Will Beback talk 08:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
