When you go to a river or spring, you will be able to obtain the water you need for your daily living. With that, you can wash your food, clothes, body, and things well and can operate your daily activities properly. Here, you can see how important water is. So you cannot begin to imagine how it would be possible for places without bodies of water to survive.
This feature forms in different ways. There are manmade and there are also those which have been formed naturally. The man made ones are those that are dug by men and thus become an oasis water source like a well which exist for generations. While nature also takes its own course to form an oasis when a river exacts pressure enough for water to seep through the surface.
Existing rivers also help in the formation of oases since they form underground aquifers which tend to create an opening in an area in a desert. But other than that, forces above ground such as rains, natural environment and other existing water bodies also help in the creation. Some geological elements also influence how this feature gets its water.
That is why en route, passing travelers stop by an oasis in order to refill their water containers for the rest of the journey. But aside from that, they also feel the need to cool off with a refreshing bath and rest under the shades of the trees. This is how needed oases are in the desert. For such reason, it is often under political or military control.
And just as he expected, when he had dug deep enough, he felt damp under his feet. So he dug more and more. And alas, there was water. That was when I first encountered the term oasis. This is actually a term used to describe a place in the desert where you can obtain water. So it literally is underground. Just like on land, you have underground water sources too.
For the man made wells, generations of people have taken responsibility for their preservation and this is the reason why you can still benefit from them when you happen to come across the desert. Actually, these features have been of critical importance for trade as well as transportation routes. That is why political or military control has been the common engagements.
The one on land is called underground or bed rock source. The difference between them in their location. The oasis is in the desert, while the bed rock is on land. The similarity between the two is that they are both sourced underneath the ground. So that is the wonder in this source. It is pretty impressive that there can actually be clean water provided for us as such location.
When they do, the seeds drop and the natural cause of growing plants take place. People could also plant crops which are suitable for the area. Fields must be irrigated to grow species like dates, apricots, figs, and olives. While the most important plant in this area is the date palm and this usually forms the upper layer.
This is also helpful to passing travelers for the shades they produce. In a place as hot and dry as the desert, both water, and a refreshing shade are really important. Shrubs and vegetables also grow here. Some of which are barley, millet, and wheat.
