Fresh Sea Water

Bantayan Island
Cebu, Philippines

With a red plastic container a boy drew water from the sea. It was low tide and the rocky seabed emerged showing patches of sea-grass, underwater crevasse and a fresh-water well - amidst salty seawater! How is it possible? Earthquake - "It does dramatic changes to a landscape and may sometimes make overland streams go under while allowing it to continue to flow." 

So, subterranean streams, from the surrounding hills, feed this well. I removed my shoes to have a closer look then buried my face on this extraordinary sprout to taste it. “Fresh water!”
