As long as the well is dug, it can penetrate the aquifer The dense and impermeable covering layer above, hot water and even steam, will continue to rise, becoming "artificial hot spring".

After a large amount of rainwater infiltrates into the underground rock, it is quickly heated by the underground heat and turns into hot groundwater. If it passes through the cracks on the surface, it will burst into hot spring under pressure. Jiaoxi hot spring belongs to sodium bicarbonate spring with clear color and odorless pH value of about 7 On the right, when it comes to the surface, it's about 58 ℃.
