What's the difference between spring water and well water?

The difference between spring water and well water lies in water source, water quality and collection method.

Spring water refers to the water source formed by groundwater flowing out of the surface naturally through formation cracks or rock pores, while well water is the groundwater obtained by artificial excavation of wellhead. Spring water usually comes from mountains or hills, while well water can come from different groundwater layers. In terms of water quality, spring water is usually considered as a pure, clear and mineral-rich natural water source, while the water quality of well water may be affected by groundwater pollution or human activities, and the water quality is different. In the way of obtaining, spring water can be taken directly from the spring, while well water needs to be extracted through the wellhead.
