Bahrain's Hidden Dilmun Springs
The article discusses the history and sources of freshwater in Bahrain and their importance in the civilization of Dilmun. It explains that natural springs, which flowed to the surface through wells dug into the ground, formed a vital lifeline for both the Bedouins and ancient urban centers. These springs held a sacred spiritual significance, with examples of historical sites such as Ain Umm Al-Sajjur and Barbar Temple. Over time, with the advancement of development and urbanization, these springs faced dryness and deterioration due to the over-extraction of groundwater, leading to a significant decline in this water resource. This water source was fundamental to life as well as a vital part of the region's cultural and religious heritage.
